Draymond Green spoke on his podcast about Derrick Rose having more of an impact on Chicago than Michael Jordan.<\/p>\n
The Chicago Bulls<\/a> retired Derrick Rose\u2019s jersey on Jan. 24. From now one, Rose\u2019s No. 1 jersey will forever hang in the raptures in the United Center. Rose\u2019s jersey hangs up there with another Bulls great, Michael Jordan.<\/p>\n Jordan, who is regarded by some as the greatest player ever, had a remarkable career with the Bulls and so did Rose. Golden State Warriors<\/a>\u2018 Draymond Green<\/a> spoke about Rose\u2019s jersey retirement in his podcast \u201cThe Draymond Green Show.\u201d<\/p>\n Green talked about the impact both Rose and Jordan had in Chicago and he made a strong take saying that Rose means more to the city of Chicago than Jordan.<\/p>\n \u201cWith all due respect to MJ, I love MJ and we all wanted to be like Mike and I still love Mike,\u201d Green said on his podcast. \u201cMike doesn\u2019t mean more to the city of Chicago than Derrick Rose, that\u2019s just facts.\u201d Green is someone who is not afraid to speak his mind, and he made it known how he felt about the impact Rose and Jordan have had in Chicago.<\/p>\n Derrick Rose and Michael Jordan, Two Chicago Legends<\/p>\n Though Rose never won an NBA<\/a> title during his career, he can say that he and Jordan have something in common. For a player to have their jersey retired by a franchise, they had to make a significant impact, and that\u2019s what both players did.<\/p>\n Rose, a Chicago native, was selected by the Bulls with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. It was only fitting for the Bulls to draft the hometown kid. Rose spent seven seasons in Chicago and won an MVP award during his time there. He also made three All-Star appearances and won the Rookie of the Year award in 2009. During his time with the Bulls, Rose took the league by storm and established himself as one of the best. He averaged 19.7 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.7 rebounds as a member of the Bulls.<\/p>\n Jordan had a memorable career during his time in Chicago. He won six titles, five league MVP awards, and was a 12-time All-Star as a member of the Bulls. Those are just a few of his accomplishments while he was in Chicago. Jordan became an all-time great as a member of the Bulls and he was a proven winner. He finished his career with Chicago averaging 31.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.4 assists.<\/p>\n Derrick Rose, Chicago Kid Gets Jersey Retired<\/p>\n NO. 1 FOREVER IN CHICAGO \ud83c\udf39\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n Derrick Rose\u2019s jersey is officially retired by the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n Congrats to the youngest MVP!!! <\/p>\n It means a lot for a player to get drafted by the team of the city they grew up in. Rose was filled with emotion during his jersey retirement. He became the fifth player in franchise history to have his jersey retired.<\/p>\n \u201cThis journey was never about me,\u201d Rose said<\/a>. \u201cIt was about creating the synergy that somehow people from the city can pull from. And somehow I was that beacon or that vessel for that \u2014 from hooping.\u201d Rose left it all on the court when he played and he brought excitement to Chicago and embraced the city as well. Just like Jordan, Rose made a huge impact on the city and the organization.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tKevin Moore<\/a> Kevin Moore is an NBA Contributing Writer at Heavy.
