On May 22, 2008, the Chicago Bulls had a 1.7 percent chance of winning the NBA’s top overall pick for the 2008 NBA Draft.
The top two prospects in that draft class were Kansas State’s do-it-all forward Michael Beasley and the explosive Memphis point guard from Chicago’s Englewood district: Derrick Rose.
The Bulls miraculously won the top overall pick and would take Rose a month later with the first pick.
Sunday marked eight years since the Bulls brought Derrick Rose home.
“It means a lot to play at home,” Rose said in a conference call after being taken No.
