Derrick Rose’s ex-girlfriend Mieka Reese is sticking up for the Chicago Bulls star amid a difficult season.
The Bulls are in a transition year as they have a new coach for the first time after five seasons under Tom Thibodeau. Joakim Noah, a former star on the team, is coming off the bench. Jimmy Butler has gone from late first-round pick to the team’s star player. Rose is taking a lot of criticism for no longer being the explosive player he once was, and there are persistent reports that he and Butler are not getting along.
On Monday, Reese shared a post on Instagram supporting Rose. Her was her caption:
“Everybody has an opinion about him, but who WANTS or ASK to be hurt! How quick everyone forgets everything he DID do. But with or without a basketball he’s still Pj’s hero #Chicago #PjDaddy #Support #Loyal #RealOne #We?Jimmy2”
You’ll notice she closed her caption with a comment about loving Jimmy Butler, just to drive home the point that they get along.
The actual post was text from a Derrick Rose fan account. You can see that message below:
Reese and Rose share a son together, PJ, but have been broken up for over two years. It’s cool to see that she still has his back.
