In 2008, Derrick Rose was the first guard to be drafted #1 overall in the NBA draft since Allen Iverson in 1996. He would subsequently win NBA Rookie of the Year honors that season and, in 2011, he was named the NBA Most Valuable Player becoming the youngest player ever to win this award. Dwyane Wade, a perennial All-Star, has been an integral part of three NBA Championships with the Miami Heat and was the leading scorer on the USA Men’s team that won a Gold Medal in Beijing in 2008. In the 2008-09 NBA season, Wade also went on to win the NBA scoring title.
This 16x20 framed photo brings together two of NBA’s truly elite players. It is custom matted in red and white to accentuate with the team colors of both players. Both Rose and Wade have signed the photo in white with Rose adding an inscription of his number “1.” The autographs have been authenticated by PSA/DNA (#4A07650).
