The newest Bull, Chicago native Jabari Parker, says Derrick Rose is “still a hero for a lot of people, including myself.”
In a story by ESPN’s Nick Friedell, Parker said Rose could retire from basketball now and still be a “legend.”
“He’s still a hero for a lot of people, including myself.”
“And his legacy is gonna be, it’s going to be with the tops and historically with the best no matter what. […]
“We embrace Derrick so much no matter what he does; he can stop playing now. He’s going to be a legend.” […]
“I always remember the good times. [Rose is] an MVP. Not many people can say they’re MVP of the league, and that’s all I remember is how he carried the city, who he was to us growing up, and that’s just going to be my hero.”
Derrick Rose is āstill a heroā to Jabari Parker. As Parker embarks on his own homecoming with the Bulls, will he be able to find the joy at the end of his Chicago tenure that eluded both Rose and Dwyane Wade in recent years? https://t.co/K82Slayrjq
