In the NBA, US media reported that recently retired Derrick Rose sent 16 bouquets of flowers to his "dignitaries", including "Zen master" Phil Jackson, his friends and trainers. "He wanted to make sure he gave roses to the people who really helped shape him and his career," said Andrews, a well-known journalist. "He actually mailed 16 roses to the Zen master, four of his close friends, and the trainers who helped him through the ups and downs of his life." Rose, nicknamed "Rose," announced his retirement from the NBA a day earlier, ending a 16-year career.
