D Rose visits Croatia, Serbia, France, and
the United Kingdom
Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls started
his D Rose Tour by visiting Zagreb, Croatia, followed by Belgrade, Serbia,
London, England, and Paris, France.
Inspired by the exciting and attacking
on-court play and smooth, understated off-court style of Derrick Rose, fans
attended the tours to experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the youngest
ever NBA MVP (Most Valuable Player).
In Croatia, adidas held a press
conference at the Drazen Petrović Memorial Center where he received a special
jersey from the late NBA player’s mother, Biserka Petrović, and toured the
museum. Later, Derrick met fans who won a special contest through Facebook at an
adidas Store, and then dedicated the newly refurbished Tuškanac “D Rose”
basketball court with Croatian-born former NBA player Gordan Giriček and
Croatian women’s national basketball team Olympic silver medalist Antonija Mišura.
Derrick Rose also met fans in Serbia at
an exclusive basketball event, where he judged a slam dunk contest, faced off
with the winner of a three-point shooting contest and held a press conference
with former Serbian-born NBA player Žarko Paspalj.
His London visit allowed over 100 fans to
get their very own pair of D Rose’s signature shoe, the D Rose 3.5 by
participating in the event “Jump with Derrick Rose” at the “D Rose Jump Store”.
Fans had the opportunity to literally grab their own pair that was placed on a
rack 9 feet high from the ground. Highlights of the event can be seen here:
The D Rose tour continued in Paris,
France, where Derrick Rose met over 800 fans through various activities like a
one-on-one tournament, a special party with attendees like hip-hop artist Big
Sean, Nic Batum of the Portland Trail Blazers and other French athletes and
celebrities, and a special apprearance at the adidas store at Champs Elysees.
The European leg of the D Rose tour will
continue in Madrid, Spain before he heads off to Asia on September 4, starting
with Japan, China, and with Manila, Philippines on September 14-16 as his last
stop before heading back to his hometown in Chicago.
The 3-day D Rose Tour in Manila kicks off
with an Originals party, followed by a variety of activities such as the 3on3
grand finals with high school players from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore,
Thailand, and the Philippines, and a Media day where Derrick Rose will be
answering questions and interacting with the media.
