CHICAGO-- "MVP" chants bounced off the walls inside of a sold-out United Center, but it wasn't for any of the current Chicago Bulls players or the visiting New York Knicks. Fans were on their feet as Bulls legend and Chicago native Derrick Rose walked out of the home tunnel at halftime of the Bulls' 139-126 win over the Knicks Saturday night.

The Bulls celebrated the long and storied basketball career of Chicago native Derrick Rose on Saturday at the United Center. Rose retired in September after 15 NBA seasons.

Derrick Rose is one of the most exciting players in Chicago Bulls history. During the 2011 season, he was the youngest (22) player to ever win the NBA MVP AWard. On Saturday, the Bulls honored Rose (and announced that they are retiring his number).
