If it wasn’t clear already that my Bulls drafted the right guy when they choose hometown kid, Derrick Rose, it is now. Andre Miller is a veteran and he should have seen all the crossovers in the world by now. However, it’s apparent Rose is so special that his crossover gone and crossed his eyes, crossed his ankles and crossed his heart and hope to goodness that somehow the camera missed him falling flat on his behind! Besides Rose’s pure athletic ability, I love how grounded the kid is. And I can call him kid because he is only twenty for pete’s sakes. If I pulled a move like that even against a 7-year-old I would make a comment a lot different than what Derrick Rose had to say about the play…
“I just did a simple move and he fell,” Rose said. “I’ve done that before. It’s just that’s the first time it happened in a game. I just thought it was a regular play. It just naturally happened. I just wanted to score and I put myself in a situation that I could get to the basket.
“That’s how I’ve been playing my whole life. I just try to win. For those plays to happen, it just takes a will. I just wanted those plays to happen.”
The last Bulls’ jersey I bought had Jordan written across the back. But don’t think I’m fair-weathered, ever since Jordan left the Bulls my passion for the team has remained the same. However, there has yet to be a true leader or untouchable in the organization that I could idolize and brag about…until now. Looks like a Bulls jersey is on my Christmas list this year.
