It seems like the glory days of the Bulls are behind us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate those moments and a certain someone that comes with them.
The Chicago Bulls will retire Derrick Rose’s No. 1 jersey this Saturday in a postgame ceremony on the court after the team hosts the Boston Celtics.
Rose, now 37, spent eight years with the Bulls and earned the titles of MVP, Rookie of the Year, and a three-time All-Star during his tenure.
Derrick Rose Jersey Retirement Night will feature a Rose t-shirt giveaway, an atrium experience at the United Center, special performances from artists, Rose-inspired food and beverage offerings, and more.
Rose will become the fifth Bulls player to have their jersey retired, joining Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen in the rafters.
