Rose has published a statement to its Instagram story on Thursday after the date setting.
“The game gave me more than I could have ever imagined,” wrote the three-time guard of All-Star Point. “From Englewood to beams, my story has always been to make the city proud.”
The retirement ceremony of the Rose shirt will occur more than a year after its withdrawal from the League has been celebrated at the United Center of Derrick Rose Night.
That day, on January 4, 2025, the Bulls announce that his shirt would also be withdrawn, which means that his number 1 would join n. 23 by Michael Jordan, n. 33 of Scottie Pippen, n. 4 of Jerry Sloan and n. 10 of Bob Love.
The next hour, during the interval of a Bulls victory over the New York Knicks – that Rose played 152 games for four seasons later in his career – Lode’s shower was taken, in particular by former teammate of Bulls and Knicks Joakim Noah.
In fact, Noah’s speech brought roses to tears.
What followed was a tribute video that Rose directed and his son PJ narrated. So Rose held his speech, which included these words:
“Being big means sometimes you won’t like it,” Rose said. “You have to show courage [even though] People don’t like us or anything it is, that I am confident in my choice. I am confident that I will do it. I want to be fantastic. You want to be fantastic.
“So thanks Chicago for having forced me to be great, putting those expectations, not understanding that I was trying to be big even for all the time, and I did not know the environment in which I found myself was forcing me to do it. So thanks for all those who looked at me since I was in sixth grade, seventh elementary, eight elementary, injuries, mvp, playoff losses, thanks.
Rose mentioned us there, but the injuries were an unfortunate part of his career. They calmed its roaring start with the Bulls, the type that has reinvigorated the franchise.
However, he played 15 seasons in the NBA.
The first seven of these arrived in Chicago, where he helped the Bulls to play the playoffs six times, including until the Eastern Conference finals as a team of 62 wins in 2011, while he earned MVP honors of the League.
