Marc Spears makes what is now an unnecessary introduction:

Hey Boston, say hello to the next NBA superstar. Derrick Martell Rose.

"If people aren't familiar with Derrick Rose, they're not basketball fans," Chicago coach Vinny Del Negro said. "The kid has been just phenomenal all season.

"He was fantastic; he is such a huge part of what we do."
