Derrick Rose to Wear No. 25 as a Member of the New York Knicks

The No. 1 jersey for the New York Knicks is currently being worn by Kevin Seraphin.

With his familiar No. 1 not available, Derrick Rose will be looking for a new number to wear with his new team.

That number was announced to the public by the Knicks on Thursday, and although his new number may look different to some, it’ll appear familiar to others.

The No. 25 has some significance to Rose and to the city of Chicago.

It was the number Rose wore at Simeon High School in Chicago when he won two state championships with the hometown Wolverines and became the nation’s top-rated player before committing to Memphis for a year.
