By Sam Smith (Bulls Blog)“I couldn’t believe (how many people were there),” Rose said. “Now I can see what football players go through when they have to go to stadiums and stuff. It was crazy out there. To be this big it was fun out there.
“Every fast break was like a highlight reel or action play,” said Rose. “It’s an experience I’ll never forget. They (the All Stars) are competitive. You should have seen out huddles when it was close at the end of the game how serious they got. They took everything serious. They were professionals.
“I think I did well,” Rose said. “At first you go out there and get the jitters because of how many people are out there. Then after you get the ball and run a couple of plays it goes away. I’m never nervous before a game. It’s just basketball, but the crowd here got to me a little bit.”
Rose said Kevin Garnett told him he should drive and not shoot a jumper to start. “He just told me to play my regular game,” Rose said.

Rose also was asked about whether he did any recruiting of his All Star teammates for the Bulls, and Rose was coy, as usual.
“Once again, Chicago is a nice place for anybody to come,” Rose said with a smile. “I would love for any free agent. They all are looking good and I hope the front office makes the right decision. We have a young team. We wouldn’t mind one of those All Stars to come. With the team we have I’m comfortable with, but you always need help.
“We’re not worried about (the trade rumors), not at all,” Rose added about talk the Bulls will make a move by Thursday. “Our job is to go in, play hard and make the organization look good.”
There’s no doubt about that with Rose.
