Derrick Rose summed up Pau Gasol reaching 1,000 career games played as well as anyone following the Bulls' 102-96 loss to the Hornets on Saturday.
"Oh, wow. That's a lot of games," a shocked Rose said, learning of the feat for the first time. "That's a huge accomplishment, especially in this league and especially for an overseas player. He deserves it with the way he plays, his IQ of the game, the hard work that he put into the game, it shows. I wish him nothing but the best and hopefully one day I can get my 1,000th game under my belt.
