Derrick Rose’s Legacy
Derrick Rose made history during his time with the Chicago Bulls. He won the NBA Rookie of the Year award in the 2008-09 season and became the youngest MVP ever at just 22 years old in 2011. After being selected first overall in the 2008 NBA Draft, Rose played for seven seasons with the Bulls.
Previous Jersey Retirements
The Bulls have previously retired four jersey numbers: Jerry Sloan’s No. 4, Bob Love’s No. 10, Michael Jordan’s No. 23, and Scottie Pippen’s No. 33. The franchise announced in August that Rose’s No. 1 jersey would join this esteemed group following the game against the Boston Celtics.
Since Rose’s trade to the New York Knicks in 2016, the No. 1 jersey has remained unused by any Bulls player. With this retirement, Rose’s legacy will be honored permanently in Chicago basketball history.
