Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White was the NBA's Player of the Month in March. He joined Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and DeMar DeRozan as the only players in Chicago franchise history to earn at least one Player of the Month Award.
White has been a hot commodity in Chicago ever since his stellar month of March. On Thursday, the UNC product was being interviewed by 670 The Score.
The interview between White and 670 The Score was going according to plan until a surprise guest came into the Bulls practice facility.
It was none another than Rose, a Chicago native who will get his jersey retired by the Bulls next season.
Coby White freaking out live on air when Derrick Rose walks into the practice facility is so relatable lol
