Derrick Rose's ex Mieka Reese reveals the competitive side of son PJ Rose amidst health struggles

The idiom that "Apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is true in Derrick Rose's son PJ Rose. The son of the former NBA star got the competitive gene from his father and it was apparent during his health struggles recently.

Earlier, on Feb. 2, Reese posted a video on her social media, giving an update on her son's health. Reese posted a video of her cooking dinner for her son. She was cooking turkey for her son post his training.

She also revealed in the video that PJ Rose had been dealing with a fever in the last two days, and regardless, kept showing up for skirmishes.

"I am gonna cook some dinner for PJ,” she said. “My baby, he has had a fever the last two days. Still went to skirmish, still went to practice. So Imma make him dinner."

Since his retirement, Rose has taken his son under his wing as the young man continues his journey in basketball. After his retirement, the former NBA player said that PJ was not very happy with him stepping away from NBA basketball.

However, the Chicago Bulls legend also pointed out that when he told his son that they would be able to spend more time together and he could even help him get better, he was convinced.

Last month, the Bulls announced that the franchise will retire Derrick Rose's #1 jersey next season. Although Rose never won a title in Chicago, his legacy during his stay was historic.
