Derrick Rose was No. 1 on both the United Center floor and in the hearts of all those gathered for the Chicago Bulls' Saturday night tilt against the New York Knicks. Rose was regaled in a weekend ceremony that commemorated his Chicago basketball career,

"I can't put it into words," the Knicks' Jalen Brunson said. "I'm so thankful to have him as a role model, as a mentor. That's my man and I love him to death."

CHICAGO-- "MVP" chants bounced off the walls inside of a sold-out United Center, but it wasn't for any of the current Chicago Bulls players or the visiting New York Knicks. Fans were on their feet as Bulls legend and Chicago native Derrick Rose walked out of the home tunnel at halftime of the Bulls' 139-126 win over the Knicks Saturday night.
