Derrick Rose believes the Bulls have only one main rival — and it’s the Miami Heat, not the Indiana Pacers.
Rose made his feelings known before Friday night’s preseason contest against the Pacers.
While being respectful regarding Indiana’s recent success, Rose acknowledged that he believed any rivalry with the Pacers is a thing of the past.
“People say that it’s a rivalry, but I don’t really see it,” Rose said before scoring 32 points in the team’s 103-98 win against the Pacers. “I say the team that is more like a rivalry is when Darren Collison was on the team. That one was more like a rivalry, but this team is a great team. They’ve already proven themselves last year by making it to the Eastern Conference finals.”
