Derrick Rose said he was "still in a daze" after hearing Saturday morning that the Chicago Bulls planned to retire his No. 1 jersey and add it to the rafters next season. The news came hours before the Bulls were set to host Rose on Saturday night at the United Center during their game against the New York Knicks.

For a half-hour interlude in an otherwise unimportant game between the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks on Saturday night, the city of Chicago sank into nostalgia. It wasn’t the way most of the city had dreamed it up over the last eight years.

Rose will become the fifth player in Bulls history to get their jersey number retired, joining Jerry Sloan (No. 4), Bob Love (No. 10), Michael Jordan (No. 23) and Scottie Pippen (No. 33). Earlier this week, Rose told ESPN that he "would love" to have his jersey retired by the Bulls. Just days later, he learned that wish is already coming true.
