Bulls guard Derrick Rose raised a few eyebrows when he gave a surprising choice for his third top role model as he spoke to 100 kids attending his presentation of a renovated outdoor basketball court this week. Rose’s top three: “First, there is my mother,
Michael Jordan . “Third, as for somebody who inspires me every single day, no matter what they do and how hard they work, it’s [actor]
Will Smith . Where he came from, like a guy who started off good in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and went bankrupt. Then he bounced his way back to where he’s making tons of money again with every movie and still a hard-working man. I take my hat off to him.”
