Derrick Rose: ‘I’m Never Leaving Chicago’

Chi-town native Rose has an encouraging message for the Bulls and their fans. Via ESPN: “As Cleveland Cavaliers fans continue to deal with the fallout from losing their hometown hero LeBron James, Bulls fans will be happy to know the mind set of Chicago native Derrick Rose on his future. ‘I’m never [leaving],’ he said, before punctuating that statement a few seconds later. ‘Never.’ The Bulls’ 21-year-old All-Star made that clear during a conversation with me on Wednesday afternoon before Day 2 of Team USA’s training camp. The South Side native doesn’t want to ever play anywhere besides Chicago. After all the free-agent ups and downs Bulls fans have endured over the last couple of months, that declaration may be the best thing they’ve heard all summer.”

    D Rose is from the south side of Chicago and he also went to Simeon High School. The one thing we have if nothing else is loyalty. Yeah he probably should’nt have made such a bold statement,but that’s how he feels and good for him. As long as he gives maximum effort and does all that he can do to win ; this city will love him for it . And he will be respected and cherished. We all know the buisness side of it. If the Bulls try to screw him and the public senses it,he would be forgiven if he had to go. But at least it is a start that this young man has a foundation of honor and loyalty to his team and city. And he seems like the type of guy that would rather fail trying his damndest than run to the enemy asking for help ! Like Lebron the prison B***h. Can’t make it on his own so he will do anything he has to !
