Michael Jordan was happy to see Derrick Rose become the youngest MVP in NBA history in 2011. Jordan and Rose are the only players in Chicago Bulls history to win the MVP Award. “MVP of the season,” Jordan told ESPN in March 2011.

Rose will join Jerry Sloan (No. 4), Bob Love (No. 10), Michael Jordan (No. 23) and Scottie Pippen (No. 33). The NBA retired Bill Russell’s jersey (No. 6) across the league after his passing in 2022.

We are proud to add Derrick to the elite group of players – Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen – whose jerseys have been officially retired by the Chicago Bulls.”
