Derrick Rose Pressured by Michael Jordan
Rose Feels Pressured by Jordan's Comment
Derrick Rose says that he and perhaps the rest of his team feel pressured by the comment made by basketball legend Michael Jordan on Saturday.
"You guys are in store for a lot of other championships," said Jordan during a brief speech at halftime of the Bulls' game against the Utah Jazz on Saturday night. “You look at this team tonight. Don’t be surprised if you don’t have six more coming.”
Before Jordan made that remark, Rose was already dealing with a lot of expecations that he will be named this season's MVP. But now Rose might feel even more pressure.
"That's a lot of pressure," said Rose, with a smile, after the Bulls finished a practice on Monday afternoon. "A lot of pressure, I don't know why he did it. We're still trying to become a 48-minute team and that's the only thing we're worried about right now. That, and Washington [on Tuesday], and that's the only thing that we can do [and] worry about. And that's the only thing we're looking forward to right now."
But Bulls power forward Carlos Boozer isn't feeling pressured by Jordan's remark.
"I don't have pressure with that," Boozer said. "That's a great [compliment] coming out of his mouth. And hopefully, we can. But we don't look at it as pressure. I think for us, we're doing every step to get the first one. You can't skip steps, or [say] 'Oh, we'll be good 10 years from now.' Or, 'Oh, we'll be good ... we want to be good now.' We've got to take each step. That's like learning from each game, prior mistakes that we've made, get better along the way. Obviously, be healthy is a big thing going into the playoffs and then we learn from what we do wrong and we learn from what we do right to keep doing the right thing as well. Huge compliment, but we still have to get the first one."
