Coming back to Chicago never gets old for Derrick Rose. The former Bulls MVP returned to the South Side Thursday to throw out the first pitch at the White Sox home opener, where he was showered with MVP chants from the crowd.

Derrick Rose made a stylish appearance at the Chicago White Sox season opener on Thursday, March 27th, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Rate Field. The Chicago native and NBA star drew attention not only for his pitch but also for his footwear—an unreleased pair of Adidas Basketball x Fear of God Athletics Basketball II sneakers.

It’s surreal,” Rose said. “It’s always surreal. But I’m a businessman now. And a dad today. Just spending time with him and giving them this time to really take in the moment.”
