Derrick Rose believes being an introvert served him well growing up in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood, where things often ended badly for those who were loud and flashy.

He also believes it has cost him later in life.

The 2008-09 NBA Rookie of the Year and 2010-11 MVP with the Bulls feels his perspective has been largely lost in the static as a string of injuries sent his meteoric career on a different trajectory with the Knicks, Cavaliers and Timberwolves.

His latest attempt to spread his side of his story is “I’ll Show You,” a book he wrote with Chicago Tribune alumnus Sam Smith that Triumph Books plans to release in September.

It follows by a few months “Pooh,” a quasi-documentary for which Rose was both subject and an executive producer. The polished looks at his triumphs, trials and tribulations made its debut in April.

Rose writes that he wrote the book in the belief his struggles to return to and remain in a game he seemingly mastered are universal, though the details he shares are uniquely his.

Plenty of people may feel others tearing them down. Few have Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley saying on TNT they should give up, something Rose clearly hasn’t forgotten or forgiven.

It’s not uncommon for teens to seek ways to make money. Not so many take the $250 shoes Nike has given them as sponsor of a team on which they play and sell them for $150.

You may see a neighbor’s success and be envious. That neighbor may not be Patrick Kane, whose Stanley Cup championship parades with the Blackhawks motivated Rose in pursuit of one for the Bulls.

A reading of the uncorrected galley proof of “I’ll Show You” yields many insights, large and small, as Rose opens up.

So with the understanding there may be changes between now and publication, here are nine of the more interesting nuggets:

1. Rose shares observations about the crime and racism he grew up around in Chicago and his experiences growing up poor in Englewood.

Rose writes that he didn’t meet a white person until high school and calls Chicago “low-key segregated.” He cites the resistance he ran into in an unsuccessful attempt to acquire property downtown so his then-girlfriend could set up a salon near Michigan Avenue.

Though he doesn’t identify who held up the deal or how, Rose writes that it was thwarted by concerns about the sort of clientele it might attract to the area.

2. According to Rose, whatever chance Illinois had of signing him out of Simeon vanished with then-Illini coach Bruce Weber’s reluctance to visit Rose’s home.

Memphis coach John Calipari, meanwhile, not only showed up in Englewood, but also treated Rose’s mother as if they were longtime friends. Rose writes that Calipari treated his mother “with the utmost respect, and for me to see a white guy being honest like that meant something.”

3. Rose is not a big fan of the media, especially Chicago media.

He believes Chicago media turned on him toward the end of his time with the Bulls, and he withdrew rather than fight back.

He also clearly still resents players-turned-analysts O’Neal and Barkley saying he should walk away from the game rather than sign with the Cavaliers after the sturm und drang of his post-Bulls stint with the Knicks.

4. Rose believes the media turned Bulls fans against him at the end of his time with the team, and that hurt.

“But don’t get me wrong,” he writes. “That was just at the end and it was me who didn’t handle the criticism right. There really was love for so long. I love Chicago, and I still love the Bulls.”

Rose also has affection for Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.

5. Rose regrets that he didn’t have someone in the media he could go to when he lost control of his narrative.

As Rose sees it, Michael Jordan had Ahmad Rashad and Kobe Bryant had Stephen A. Smith.

“Who was my reporter?” he wrote. “I’m in a market where if I say something — no matter what it was — it seemed like they were gonna twist my story. I don’t know why. It’s my hometown.”

6. Rose nearly died twice as a youth.

At 9 or 10, he mistook a cup full of bleach for water and drank it.

And on Independence Day when he was 12 or 13, Rose and a pal thought it would be entertaining to throw lit matches or cigarettes in the gas tank of a long-abandoned tow truck. Out shot a flame that badly burned Rose’s friend.

7. Many of Rose’s teeth are capped, and it’s not because he ate so much sugar as a kid.

Rose writes that when Bulls teammate Taj Gibson elbowed him in 2015 training camp, breaking Rose’s eye socket, he also chipped nine or so teeth.

8. Rose recalls taping a recruiting video for the Bulls’ failed campaign to land LeBron James in 2010, and he was upset the Bulls didn’t shoot down reports that he wasn’t interested in helping the bid.

While Rose writes he’s not big on “What if?” scenarios — and this probably isn’t going out on a limb — he believes the Bulls would have won at least one title if James had signed with them instead of the Heat.

9. Rose says Nike and ESPN have outsized influence in basketball.
