Bulls will honor Derrick Rose on January 4

Per ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Rose sent out bouquets of 16 flowers to those who were most formative to him throughout his career. According to Andrews, the list included Phil Jackson, his friends and his former trainers. “He told me that today he knows he’s going to be getting his flowers, so he wanted to make sure that, pun intended, he was giving out the roses to those who really helped mold him and shape his career,” Andrews said (1:20 mark). “He’s actually mailing out 16 roses to folks like Phil Jackson, his four best friends, his trainers that helped him through the ups and downs.” -via Bleacher Report / September 27, 2024
