The glory days Bulls fans were hoping for when Rose arrived with much fanfare in 2008 never quite arrived, but his career in Chicago was still full of remarkable highs and lows. From the team’s back-to-back No. 1 seeds in 2011-12 to his standing as the youngest MVP in league history, Rose accomplished some truly great things with the Bulls.
