We have to wait until 2015 to get the newest James Bond movie, but Derrick Rose is channeling his inner secret agent during his time with Team USA.

More from Chicago Bulls

At the moment, some of the best players in the NBA are trying to help Team USA win the FIBA World Cup but once the tournament ends, the NBA regular season will pit all of these teammates against one another. According to Joe Cowley from the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bulls star guard has been taking notes on his Team USA teammates for when they all meet in the NBA’s regular season.

"Rose has been taking notes for when Irving is back in a rival uniform.‘‘Not only on him, but everybody,’’’ Rose said. ‘‘I mean, we’re competitors. We look at each other’s games to see what strengths are, weaknesses are, and of course you’re going to use them during the season.’’"

Rose won the MVP in 2011 but he’s had ACL problems that have kept him on the sideline. That will likely change in 2014-15 as the Chicago Bulls are poised to be contenders again and Rose is getting back into his MVP mindset in more than one way.
