LeBron James let Derrick Rose know he's happy about the former Bulls star getting his jersey retired this coming NBA season.

Chicago legend and former NBA MVP Derrick Rose will see his jersey raised to the rafters of United Center when the Bulls honor him on Jan. 24, 2026, the team announced.

The Chicago Bulls announced near the beginning of the year that they would be retiring Derrick Rose's jersey, hanging #1 in the rafters forever, unless his son were to become a Bull. It was a rare moment of competency for the Bulls, as they haven't made many great decisions for the last decade, but retiring the former MVP's number is a no-brainer.
