Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose will return to familiar stomping grounds, making his return to his hometown of Chicago for the 2020 NBA All-Star Skills Challenge, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Rose has also gotten a bevy of votes among Eastern Conference guards through the first return of All-Star fan voting, always with a steed of loyal following.

The 31-year-old guard has now played for four different teams since leaving The Windy City in 2016, when he was traded to the New York Knicks. After averaging 18 points per game in his lone season with the Knicks, Rose's career took a brief downslope, playing only 16 games with the Cleveland Cavaliers and five more with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

However, the 2018-19 season would bring a resurgent Derrick Rose, once again putting up 18 points per game as a quality sixth man for the Timberwolves, a trend he's carried onto his new stint with the Pistons.

Rose has won the Skills Challenge before, doing so in his rookie season, yet recording the slowest time in the competition's history: 35.3 seconds.

The event has since changed dramatically, including a big man division and amplifying the field to eight contestants, instead of the customary four from its inception (2003), which later changed to five in 2009, the year Rose took home the Skills Challenge award.

While this was predominantly a guard-based contest, big men like Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis have won in the past, though Derrick Rose will be up for one last vintage performance in front of his hometown fans in Chicago, hoping to join Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade, and Damian Lillard as two-time winners of this event.
