Anthony Morrow has promised a change.
After being traded from Oklahoma City to Chicago, Morrow went with No. 1 as his
new jersey number, which was once held by former MVP and hometown kid Derrick
Rose.
That decision didn’t sit too well with Bulls fans as their backlash caused
Morrow to issue an apology on Twitter. The newly-acquired sharpshooter vowed to
switch numbers “asap,” claiming he was unaware until pregame that Rose once
donned that number.
Rose spent eight seasons with the Bulls before being traded to the Knicks last
summer. Fans reacted in a similar manner when Michael Carter-Williams was traded
to Chicago from Milwaukee, criticizing him for selecting No. 1 four months after
Rose had left. He would proceed to switch to No. 7 after receiving negative
feedback.
