CHICAGO – There was a loud ovation before the game at the United Center for Wolves forward Taj Gibson, the respected veteran who played parts of eight season with the Bulls.
But in introducing the Wolves, the Bulls game operations staff saved a certain player for last, and even though Derrick Rose is in a visiting uniform, he gave it a little more flair than he might for an average player. Instead of using Rose’s college of Memphis as an introduction, he said, “From Chicago” and at that, the United Center crowd broke out in a fervor for the guard who captivated this city for seven seasons.
