08:07 AM ET 03.15 | Derrick Rose appreciated Michael Jordan's MVP compliment, but the talk of six titles may have been going too far. Rose has dealt with all the expectations that have come his way this season, but even he had to chuckle after hearing Michael Jordan's comments on Saturday night, in which he proclaimed that with the way Rose and the new-look Bulls are playing they can win "six more" titles in the future. "That's a lot of pressure," Rose said with a smile after the Bulls wrapped up practice Monday afternoon. "A lot of pressure, I don't know why he did it. We're still trying to become a 48-minute team and that's the only thing we're worried about right now. That, and Washington [on Tuesday], and that's the only thing that we can do [and] worry about."

Good answer Rose. Just win enough games to keep the title from Miami or Boston and everything will be alright!

NJ Nets are sure trying to do their part (regarding the C's that is.)

Does anyone think Jordan was even serious ? Maybe he was a little jealous about all the attention Rose is getting?

Doubtful. Rose doesn't have his face planted on video game boxes yet they MJ has had over his career. Let's not even mention Wheaties.

Really? What product have you ever bought besides maybe sneakers, just because MJ endorsed it? I can honestly say that I've never bought one thing he's endorsed that I wouldn't have purchased otherwise. His sneakers are nice, so I bought them. And the Hanes t-shirts with the lay flat neck are great. If those shirts were endorsed by satan, I would've gotten them.

...They did have Charlie Sheen in those commericals too to make it that much better

Michael Jordan is the only person I know of in the world who can have a Hitler mustache like he does now and not get any grief.

Yup, and the crazy part is, if Hitler were around to see it he'd probably be talking himself up for having the same mustache as MJ. Even he'd want to be like Mike.

True I could imagine Hitler sitting around watching Space Jam for hours in his bunker

Rose is just trying to stay focused which he shoud if he is serious about winning a title. I dont know if this is his year, but if the kid thinks he has a shot; I wouldnt bet against him. I'd venture to say that Mike wouldnt either although he is a gambler. In any case it is nice to see that even the all time greats can be fans of the new kids on the block.
