FORMER NBA MVP: Derrick Rose on idea of Bulls statue: ‘No knock, D-Wade. I saw that statue. I’m good’…READ MORE
However, Rose made it clear that honor is more than sufficient for commemorating his career.
During an appearance on “The Enterprise Zone” at Nasdaq, a Forbes business show, host Jabari Young asked Rose whether he would be open to having a statue outside the arena. Young then asked if Rose would accept an offer from the Bulls to create a statue. The 37-year-old responded that he doesn’t have an interest in being remembered that way.
“I don’t want a statue of myself,” Rose said. “I feel like that’s idolizing in a way I don’t want anybody to idolize me.”
It appears the Chicago native won’t be joining Michael Jordan in statue form outside the United Center anytime soon.
During an injury-riddled 16-year career, Rose had a lasting impact on the Bulls franchise and the NBA. After being selected first in the 2008 draft, he electrified the league with his athleticism.
Rose was a three-time All-Star and 2011 NBA MVP with his hometown team, taking the Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals in 2011, before falling to the Heat.
