The Chicago Bulls will honor Derrick Rose by retiring his No. 1 jersey. The event will take place on January 24, 2026 following a game against the Boston Celtics. He will become the fifth player in Bulls history to receive the honor, following Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
Rose became the youngest NBA MVP in 2011 at the age of 22. During his time in Chicago, he became a symbol of hope and inspiration, bringing explosive plays and fierce determination.
Although his career was affected by injuries, Rose's impact on the team and the city of Chicago remains profound. To the locals, he is a true hometown hero.
As an added tribute, the Bulls will host a season-long celebration with four collectible figurine giveaways that will showcase different phases of his career.
This award is not just for one player but for Derrick Rose's deep connection to his fans and the entire Chicago community.
