J.J. Post, ESPN
Jan. 4, 2025 was Derrick Rose Day in Chicago, and the Bulls celebrated accordingly.
From announcing the retirement of Rose’s No. 1 jersey to warmups paying homage to the former MVP, there were plenty of tributes to the Windy City native throughout the night as the Bulls took on another one of Rose’s former teams, the New York Knicks.
Here are some of the top sights and sounds from Derrick Rose Day (and night) at the United Center.
