The one-time league MVP played eight injury-plagued years in Chicago. But when he was on, there were few better.

Rose will become the fifth player in Bulls history to get their jersey number retired, joining Jerry Sloan (No. 4), Bob Love (No. 10), Michael Jordan (No. 23) and Scottie Pippen (No. 33). Earlier this week, Rose told ESPN that he "would love" to have his jersey retired by the Bulls. Just days later, he learned that wish is already coming true.

Rose will become the fifth Bulls player to receive the franchise honor during the ceremony that will be announced later.
