A less than warm welcome: Mike Budenholzer returns to Milwaukee
Whenever an iconic player returns to their former franchise for a game, they are typically treated with a montage of some of their best moments with that team. A recent example is the Chicago Bulls celebrating Derrick Rose Day on Jan. 4, when they took on the New York Knicks. They played a full 20-minute video of Rose’s former teammates, reporters, current NBA players, and a host of others to talk about the legacy of Rose in Chicago and the NBA. While Rose did win an MVP and brought the Bulls back to relevance post Micheal Jordan, he never won an NBA title and only made one conference finals appearance during his prime (usually stopped by injuries or LeBron James).
