Derrick Rose polarized the Bulls fan base during his tenure in Chicago, but obviously, many passionate Rose supporters still remain.
After being traded from Oklahoma City to Chicago, Anthony Morrow decided to wear No. 1 as his new jersey number—and was quickly met with angry comments from fans on his Instagram and Twitter accounts.

It’s the second time in just five months that a Bull has changed his number from Rose’s No. 1 after experiencing fan backlash.
Michael Carter-Williams did the same in October.
