Throughout Michael Jordan years in the late 80s and early 90s there was no hotter ticket in NBA basketball than the Chicago Bulls, but after MJ, Phil Jackson and Scottie Pippen retired or went elsewhere the Bulls lost there appeal and winning ways. It has been a tough time since the MJ days, but with rookie point guard Derrick Rose bursting on the scene in Chicago the Bulls will be looking to regain their past NBA glory and get back to where they belong, the NBA Finals. With this kid from Memphis averaging an impressive 16 points a game and just over 6 assists per contest Rose is progressing much faster than anticipated, so much so that he might be making a trip to the 2009 All Star game in Phoenix.

The Eastern conference is as tough as it has ever been with the emergence of the Boston Celtics, a King in Cleveland and a monster in the middle in Orlando, but Derrick Rose is a true competitor, born leader and gifted athlete on a mission to prove the Bulls are not to be overlooked in the East anymore. As of today, Rose is the Rookie of the Year hands down. OJ Mayo may be lighting up the scoreboards in Memphis, but Rose has drastically improved his Bulls team playing alongside Ben Gordon and Luol Deng.

It may be a few more years before the Chicago Bulls can be a true threat in the Eastern conference with the Cavs, Magic and Celtics playing at a high level, but with the leadership of Rose and the guidance of new head coach Vinny Del Negro times are a changing in Chicago. With all the excitement surrounding the resurgent Chicago Bulls, now is the time never to miss a game!
