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."

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).
