Other than wishing him good health, most Chicago Bulls players were stumped when asked what they would get Derrick Rose for his 24th birthday, which the star guard celebrated on Thursday.
“I made the rookies sing,” Kirk Hinrich joked after practice. “I hope that’s enough.”
After the basketballs were picked up at the end of practice “Happy Birthday” could be heard throughout the Berto Center. But just a few minutes later Rose was back rehabbing, unavailable to discuss his big day.
“We should make him go (rehab) twice,” coach Tom Thibodeau said of a birthday gift.
