Derrick Rose Night in Chicago between the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks was sure to bring back all the feels. Current Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau—who coached Rose for most of his career—pleaded Rose's Hall of Fame case before the special tribute game.
Before Rose was honored at the United Center Saturday night, the Bulls announced they would retire Rose's No. 1 jersey next season. Thibodeau has a front-row seat to the tribute night as he coaches the opposing Knicks. He explained what Rose, a Chicago native, means to the city as well as the type of player and person he is.
