I used to have season tickets during the DRose/Jo/Thibs days. My friends and I shared two 300 level seats even though we were just out of school and broke as shit (at least I was). DRose is the reason we got these tickets.
We saw a lot of cool shit and iconic games. DRose’s MVP year. Joakim’s DPOY year. Jimmy’s ascension.
But now, more than a decade later, not to be too sentimental but what I appreciate the most now is how close those Bulls players all remain. Even though they were pro athletes and we were dipshits in the 300 level who moved from small towns in the midwest to Chicago I feel like we all grew up together in that era. And while DRose’s retirement closes a chapter on that, Joakim’s remarks here show that these relationships and memories will endure.

Two of the greatest Bulls of all time. Glad I got to see them play.

Goddammit I remember when MJ retired from the Bulls but I was only 10–it’s different when you’re the same age as the guy retiring who literally captained the best sports run you’ve ever experienced in your life. I’ve been cutting onions all day lol
