Rose, the first Bull’s All Star since Jordan
Chicago Bulls fans finally have someone to be proud of. Derrick Rose was named as a reserve for the NBA All Star game.
In his 2nd year in the NBA, Rose is the first Chicago Bull to be named to the team since Michael Jordan in 1998. In case you can not do math, it has been 12 YEARS.
Rose came into the league last year as the number one draft pick and showed he was worth it. At the end of the year, he won the Rookie of the Year award. He also helped his team push the Boston Celtics to a tough competitive 7 game series in the playoffs.
This year, Rose picked up from exactly where he left off. Contributing 20 points a game, Rose is a scoring point guard but is contributes to the team in every aspect of the game. He plays defense and averages 6 assists a game. His jump shot is developing and it seems his court vision is hitting x-ray level.

Having Rose named to the All Star team should be exhilarating for all Bulls fans. This means the team is getting recognized. Also, the selection means the Bulls have a key piece to building a champion.
Boston’s Rajon Rondo, Atlanta Hawk’s Al Horford and the Charlotte Bobcat’s Gerald Wallace join Rose as first year selections to the East All Star team. Atlanta’s Joe Johnson, Boston’s Paul Pierce and Toronto Raptor Chris Bosh complete the Eastern Conference’s roster.
Dallas Maverick’s Dirk Nowitzki will be the hometown hero of the game since it is in Dallas. Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant, Memphis Grizzlies Zach Randolph and Utah Jazz’s point guard Deron Williams are the first year participants for the Western Conference. Los Angeles Laker Pau Gasol, New Orleans Hornet Chris Paul and Portland Trailblazer Brandon Roy were selected as well.
