Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose says every time he steps onto the court, he's making history.

Rose has undergone four knee surgeries and one eye procedure since winning the MVP award back in 2011 with the Chicago Bulls. He told Marc J. Spears of the Undefeated back in the preseason that most guys in his position would have retired already.

The 30-year-old Chicago native is coming off the best game of his basketball life. Rose scored 50 points against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

“I'm making history right now,” Derrick Rose told ESPN's Nick Friedell. “Like every time I touch the court is history. That's how I feel about it right. And I feel like my fans and the people that watch, they can relate in some way. I mean the people that really care about me. You have people that talk s— here and there but they're the ones that that's following my story and the ones that's writing about my story. So who cares what they say. They just got to keep watching and keep writing.”

Derrick Rose is making the veteran's minimum this season. He says his goal for the year is to win the Sixth Man of the Year award. If Rose is able to accomplish that goal, he will join Bill Walton as the only two players in NBA history to win both the MVP and Sixth Man of the Year award.

On the season, Rose is averaging 18.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game while shooting 44.1 percent from the field, 34.6 percent from beyond the arc and 76.3 percent from the free-throw line. The Timberwolves enter Friday with a record of 4-4.
