On an evening the place the Chicago Bulls are internet hosting ‘Derrick Rose Evening‘ throughout Saturday’s sport in opposition to the New York Knicks, the legendary franchise had one other shock for his or her legendary level guard.
The Bulls stunned Rose with an announcement that they may formally be retiring Rose’s iconic No. 1 jersey into the rafters subsequent season.
An honor that seemed to catch Rose off guard, as he burst into tears upon listening to the information.
Rose, a Chicago native, performed eights seasons with the Bulls, and have become the youngest MVP in NBA historical past, at simply 22-years-old.
He’ll now be ceaselessly enshrined and honored by the franchise.
No Bull will ever put on No. 1 once more…apart from one situation that CEO Michael Reinsdorf made clear.
If Roses’s son, P.J., finds himself on the Bulls, then he will probably be allowed to put on his dad’s iconic #1.
“I am simply telling you,” Reinsdorf mentioned.
“No one’s sporting that primary jersey once more, except, P.J. is a Bull.
“Then he is sporting that primary jersey, all proper? Is that truthful?”

Rose and Reinsdorf shared an emotional embrace, and it was clear what the respect meant for Rose.
The Bulls have solely retired 4 numbers in franchise historical past: Jerry Sloan’s No. 4, Bob Love’s No. 10, Michael Jordan’s No. 23 and Scottie Pippen’s No. 33.
It’s one thing they hardly ever do, but for Rose, it was a should.
No. 1 will now be within the rafters ceaselessly, that’s after all except one other Rose (Jr.) pops up on the ground of the United Middle.
