Michael Jordan receives massive standing ovations whenever he returns to the United Center, as he will Saturday night for the 20th anniversary celebration of the Bulls’ first NBA championship in a ceremony with former broadcaster Jim Durham as host.
But there might be a few extra decibels involved given what His Airness said about Derrick Rose in a rare interview Wednesday night.
“MVP of the season,” the Bobcats owner said Wednesday night after the Bulls downed his team 101-84. “He deserves it. He’s playing that well, without a doubt.”
Then Jordan offered that sly smile.
“And if he doesn’t get it, now he will see how I felt a lot of those years,” the Bulls’ Hall of Famer said…
“I wish man,” Rose said. “It’s great that he said that. It’s an honor. I’m speechless. But I’m just trying to keep winning. The award will come if we keep winning. I’m just trying to play hard and aggressive and with an edge.”
