‘Unbelievable career’: Michael Jordan honors Derrick Rose at Bulls jersey retirement
MANILA, Philippines – From one Chicago Bulls legend to another.
As the Bulls officially retired Derrick Rose’s No. 1 jersey, NBA icon Michael Jordan led the tributes for Chicago’s hometown hero Rose, the youngest player in league history to win an MVP award during his eight-year stint with the storied franchise.
“Derrick, congratulations on your retirement of your jersey. Very happy for you, you had an unbelievable career,” said Jordan of his fellow former Bulls superstar Rose.
“You really represented the city of Chicago and the Chicago Bulls, your family, and yourself very, very well. Looking forward to coming to the United Center and seeing your jersey hanging up there with my jersey.”
Rose became only the fifth Bulls player to have his jersey retired by the franchise, joining the six-time NBA champion and five-time MVP Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Jerry Sloan, and Bob Love.
Selected No. 1 overall in the 2008 NBA Draft, the 6-foot-3 Rose played for the Bulls from 2008 to 2016, capturing the Rookie of the Year award, the MVP honors in 2011, while leading the city to multiple playoff appearances.
Injuries, however, slowed down the high-flying guard after he sustained an ACL tear in his left knee during the 2012 NBA playoffs and a meniscus tear in his right knee upon returning in the 2013-2014 season.
After his stint with the Bulls, Rose went on to play for five more teams, namely the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, and the Memphis Grizzlies before retiring in 2024 at the age of 35.
Rose, a three-time NBA All-Star, put up career averages of 17.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 5.2 assists over 723 games played.
“We’ve been through a lot Chicago, a whole lot,” said Rose during his jersey retirement ceremony shortly after the Bulls’ 114-111 win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday, January 25 (Manila time).
“Chicago, we did it before and we could continue to do it. With some of the tragedies that I told you about, somehow we got to this point right now. Thank you all for coming out, I appreciate you all,” he said. – Rappler.com

Golden Trump statue holding Bitcoin appears outside U.S. Capitol
The post Golden Trump statue holding Bitcoin appears outside U.S. Capitol appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A 12-foot golden statue of Trump gripping a Bitcoin was placed outside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday evening in Washington. The installation appeared just before the Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate announcement. It stood along 3rd Street from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., pulling crowds as D.C. tried to make sense of a foam version of the president staring down Congress with a crypto in hand. At 2 p.m., the Fed cut its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, bringing the short-term rate from 4.3% to 4.1%. It’s the first rate cut since December, after a year of concerns about slowing job growth and rising unemployment. The Fed also outlined plans for two more cuts before the end of this year, but said it only expects one cut in 2026. That didn’t sit well with Wall Street, which had priced in five cuts by next year, as Cryptopolitan extensively reported. Crypto organizers livestream token to support Trump statue The statue was funded by a group of cryptocurrency investors, most of whom are staying anonymous. Their goal was to make a loud, unavoidable point about the future of crypto and government power. Hichem Zaghdoudi, who spoke for the group, said: “The installation is designed to ignite conversation about the future of government-issued currency and is a symbol of the intersection between modern politics and financial innovation. As the Federal Reserve shapes economic policy, we hope this statue prompts reflection on cryptocurrency’s growing influence.” To push the message even further, the group launched a memecoin on Pump.fun. They used multiple livestreams to pump the token and tie it directly to the statue stunt. One organizer, speaking during a stream on Tuesday, said the statue was built using “extremely hard foam” to make it easier to move. Posts on their X account…
