Congratulations to Rose! Bulls No. 1 jersey will be retired, becoming the 5th person in team history to receive this honor, shoulder to shoulder with Jordan and Pippen!‌ On January 5th, Beijing time, the Bulls officially announced that they will retire Derrick Rose's No. 1 jersey during the 25-26 season, with the specific date to be formally announced later. The Bulls stated, "Our No. 1 is forever from Chicago." Team President and CEO Michael Reinsdorf shared this news with Rose face-to-face in Chicago on Saturday morning, local time. Below is the official statement made by Michael Reinsdorf on behalf of the Bulls: "Derrick is not only a hometown hero but also a symbol of the entire Bulls basketball era," Jerry Reinsdorf said. "Retiring a jersey is recognition of a player's influence beyond their achievements on the court. It honors those who have made outstanding contributions to the team and established a deep and lasting connection with the fans. It acknowledges the emotional bond and significant impact players have on the team and its image. We are proud to add Derrick to the elite group of players - Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen - whose jerseys have been officially retired by the Chicago Bulls." "Derrick's talent is extraordinary, but what impresses me most is how he maintains humility and expresses himself through basketball games." Michael Reinsdorf said. "Watching Derrick play as a player is exciting, but getting to know Derrick privately is an honor. His achievements both on and off the court make him truly unique. His…

On January 5th, Beijing time, the Chicago Bulls officially announced that they will retire Derrick Rose's No. 1 jersey next season. The statement reads: "The Bulls will retire Derrick Rose's jersey in the 2025-26 season. No other Bulls player will wear the No. 1 jersey. No. 1 forever belongs to Chicago." Bulls President Michael Reinsdorf personally informed Rose of this matter. Upon hearing the news, Rose was very emotional and moved to tears, then his face was filled with smiles; Michael also said that in the future, only PJ (Rose's son) could wear the No. 1 jersey for the Bulls. With tears in his eyes, Rose indicated that it was okay; Rose hugged and thanked Michael, then shouted out the window. Yesterday, Rose expressed on the show that he hoped the Bulls would retire his No. 1 jersey, jokingly saying that considering the current level of statue production, please don't erect a statue for me. Today, Rose's wish has come true. His No. 1 jersey will be retired next season. Rose joins Jerry Sloan (No. 4), Bob Love (No. 10), Jordan (No. 23), and Pippen (No. 33) as the fifth Bulls player to have his jersey retired; additionally, Bill Russell's jersey was also retired by the Bulls (No. 6, retired throughout the league). James, Paul, Noah, Korver, and others recorded videos to pay tribute to Rose. During this time, James said: "Derrick Rose will always be remembered in basketball games. Congratulations, brother, the best is yet to come." Today is Rose Night. Both the Bulls and Knicks teams wore special…

On January 5th, Beijing time, the Chicago Bulls officially announced that they will retire Derrick Rose's No. 1 jersey during the 2025-2026 season. The Bulls' official statement reads: "Our No. 1 is forever from Chicago." This announcement was made personally by team president Michael Reinsdorf, who expressed this decision of honor during his meeting with Rose in Chicago. Reinsdorf also mentioned: "Derrick is not only a hometown hero but also an important symbol in the history of Bulls basketball. His talent is unparalleled, and what moves us most is his humility and personal charm off the court." Rose, a native of Chicago, was selected as the first overall pick by the Bulls in 2008, starting his career. Between 2009 and 2015, Rose played for the Bulls, becoming one of the most representative players in the team's history. In the 2010-2011 season, he became the youngest regular-season MVP in NBA history, leading the Bulls to the best record in the league with 62 wins and 20 losses, and guiding the team into the Eastern Conference Finals. Now, Rose's No. 1 jersey will hang alongside those of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and others in the Bulls' arena, becoming a symbol of the team's history. As the youngest regular-season MVP in NBA history, Rose's basketball skills are top-notch, whether it's his breakthroughs on the offensive end or his vision and passing in organizing the game. In the 2010-2011 season, he averaged 25 points and 7.7 assists, leading the Bulls to their best record of 62 wins and 20 losses. That year, Rose's performance…

On January 4th, Beijing time, Guangdong Hongyuan secured a crucial victory, defeating Shandong 98-93 at home. This win not only avenged their previous loss but also marked their second consecutive victory, sounding the charge for their return to the top eight. Guangdong's victory was accompanied by three pieces of good news! The first piece of good news is that Xu Jie played like Curry. In this game, Xu Jie played for 43 minutes, scoring 22 points, 11 assists, and 4 rebounds with 9 shots made out of 6 attempts. Notably, all 6 of his successful shots were three-pointers, with 8 attempts resulting in 6 successful shots, and most of these goals were from beyond the arc. Xu Jie has truly become the CBA's Curry! The second piece of good news is that Morand nearly achieved a "quadruple-double." Morand scored 8 points, grabbed 19 rebounds, dished out 10 assists, but had 7 turnovers. Although he had more turnovers, the 19 rebounds and 10 assists speak for themselves. The third piece of good news is the timely recovery of Du Runwang, who made 3 out of 5 three-pointers, dispelling the shadow of his previous game where he made only 2 out of 10 three-point attempts! In the last 15 games, Xu Jie has only played over 40 minutes twice, which shows how tired he must be now. In this game, all 9 of Xu Jie's attempts were from beyond the three-point line, which was actually to save energy. However, as the game progressed, we discovered that Xu Jie had become the CBA's…

Who is the "Queen of Social Circles" in the NBA? Unveiling the multifaceted life of Larsa Pippen What kind of woman can still be the darling of the headlines at the age of 50? Is it a top female celebrity or a super-rich person? No, it's a woman named Larsa Pippen. Her name has evolved from "the ex-wife of NBA legend Scottie Pippen" to "the top of the social circle." She has dated many NBA star players and is now even passionately dating Marcus Jordan, the son of Michael Jordan. Even more eye-catching is that her life is like a reality show; whoever sees it will exclaim: this plot beats the screenwriters of TV dramas. However, the question is, is she the representative of a free and confident modern woman, or a regular protagonist in the entertainment section? Today, let's dissect Larsa's multifaceted life together and see how this "Queen of Social Circles in the NBA" manages to navigate through complex emotional relationships and public opinion whirlpools with ease. To talk about Larsa, we must start with her marriage story. Larsa was once the wife of Scottie Pippen - one of the legendary figures in NBA history, second only to Jordan in status. Initially, her life was incredibly low-key, and she appeared more as "Pippen's wife" in the public eye: cheering on the sidelines, attending social events, playing the role of a seemingly impeccable celebrity wife. However, the trajectory of the story changed after Pippen gradually faded out of the public eye. Larsa, who used to revolve around her husband,…

A 1.78-meter NBA draft pickout who became famous for defending James in the finals, won a championship and then signed multiple contracts, survived 14 seasons in the NBA, earned $40 million, and married two Miss Universes who are both beautiful and intelligent, transformed from an underdog shorty into a life winner with wealth and beauty. He is known as "The Mountain of Puerto Rico," Jose Juan Barea. Born on June 26, 1984, in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, into an upper-middle-class family, Barea's father was an engineer, and his mother was both a professor and a volleyball and tennis coach. His excellent parents provided him with a carefree upbringing but did not give him good athletic genes. He was not outstanding in height among his peers, nor was he exceptional in running and jumping abilities. He even suffered from lung collapse and was treated in the intensive care unit for 10 days. Is such a body really suitable for basketball? As the saying goes, "Passion can overcome a thousand difficulties." To strengthen his physique, his parents often took him to play tennis, volleyball, and basketball. Among many sports, he loved basketball the most. When his two younger brothers were playing with toys, he often practiced alone in the yard. Without professional guidance, he imitated the players on TV. Day after day, year after year of practice greatly improved his ball skills. After making a name for himself in elementary school competitions, he was noticed and trained by a professional coach. Due to his mediocre physical talent, he received no media attention during…

NBA's top-paid players are really hard to understand. They start to perform poorly and their stats keep dropping. The key is that they are making so much money but still playing so badly. It makes fans afraid to watch games, for fear that their favorite stars will collapse again. George this season is really unbearable to watch, averaging only 16.5 points, which can't even beat a rookie. He is supposed to be an All-Star level small forward, but his shooting percentage has dropped to 41.5%, and his three-point shooting is only 32.8%. These stats are worlds apart from last season. The most outrageous thing is that in 21 games, he had 12 games with a shooting percentage below 40%. This level of performance is just that of a substitute player, yet he is paid the top salary in the league. This money is really not worth it. Williams, the rookie, averages 21 points and has a higher shooting efficiency than George. The key is that his salary is only one-ninth of George's. This comparison is really painful to see. VanVleet on the Rockets also has a lot to say about his performance, averaging 15 points and 6 assists, which looks pretty average. His shooting percentage has dropped to 37.5%, and his three-point shooting has set a new career low. In 31 games, he had 10 games with a shooting percentage below 30%, and another 8 games with a shooting percentage below 40%. This level of performance really doesn't match his top salary contract. What's most frustrating is that he also…

LeBron James, one of the most influential players in NBA history, recently celebrated his 40th birthday. Remarkably, despite reaching this milestone age, James continues to compete at a high level in the NBA, which is not common historically. There have been only 32 NBA players who played until they were at least 40 years old before retiring, including legends like Jordan, Malone, Stockton, Duncan, and Nash. Many of these players were exceptional in their own right, but at the same age, James' performance stands out significantly, to the point where he can still lead a team to contend for championships. This season, James has played 30 games for the Lakers, averaging an impressive 23.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game, maintaining a comprehensive stat line. In the latter stages of his career, James has broken numerous records, such as becoming the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. Every point he scores from now on will be a new record. He also holds the record for the most regular-season games with double-digit scoring, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, among others. It's safe to say that James will continue to set new records, and his greatness speaks for itself. It's worth noting that there is another achievement of James that has been overlooked by the outside world: his eligibility for the highest NBA pension. How much is James' pension? The discussion of this issue is still premature, as James remains an active player. Given his current form, it wouldn't be surprising if he continued playing for another two years. However, the highest…

Title: Mavericks 122:134 Cavaliers! Without "East Europe", Klay did his best, bravely taking on the offensive! Content: I. Game Preview: The Mavericks lost to the Rockets in their last game, suffering a three-game losing streak, and are experiencing a minor slump. However, the main reason for this losing streak is due to team injuries and player suspensions from fighting. In the previous game, Irving, Klay, and Lively sought revenge but still lost to the Rockets, causing great anger among the Mavericks players. After the game, Klay took responsibility, saying, "It's my fault; I can't afford to make five turnovers in one game. Moreover, some of them don't even seem like the kind of mistakes I would make. I must protect the ball better. We're facing the Cavaliers next, who are very strong, so I have to improve quickly in these few days. The next game is my chance to bounce back." Klay and Irving have been in good form recently, not because of their state, but probably because they just came back and need to find their rhythm in the game. The Mavericks' upcoming schedule is very tough, starting with the Kings, Cavaliers, Grizzlies, Lakers, two games against the Nuggets, two against the Thunder, and finally the Celtics. Such opponents are a real test for the Mavericks without Doncic. If they play well, they can stabilize in the top four; if not, they could drop directly into the playoff play-in zone. Currently, the Mavericks have a record of 20 wins and 14 losses, ranking fifth in the West, trailing the…

The competition in the Western Conference this season is much more intense compared to the Eastern Conference. Apart from the first-placed Thunder team, the difference in wins and losses between the second-placed Grizzlies and the tenth-placed Warriors is only six games. It can be said that the teams in the playoff zone have a particularly large number of ranking variables, which also makes the Western Conference rankings change greatly: Rockets secure 3rd and aim for 2nd, Clippers aim for 5th, Spurs rise, Suns drop out of the top 10. Rockets Secure 3rd and Aim for 2nd! The first-placed Thunder team in the West currently has a 12-game winning streak, with a record of 27 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the West, and leading the second-placed Grizzlies by 5 games, making the first position very stable! The competition for second place in the West is much fiercer, with the Grizzlies at 23 wins and 11 losses, and the Rockets at 22 wins and 11 losses. The difference in wins and losses between the two teams is only 0.5 games, and both have the possibility of taking second place! The Grizzlies' recent performance has been quite good, winning three out of four games. However, the team has encountered significant problems, namely too many injuries. Morant, Aldama, and Adi have all encountered injury situations, causing the team's performance to decline significantly. Especially with the Grizzlies' upcoming schedule not being easy, facing teams like the Kings, Warriors, Mavericks, Rockets, and Timberwolves, all Western Conference teams, it means the Grizzlies will suffer quite…
