Before the Knicks took on the Bulls on Friday night at the United Center in Chicago, the Bulls delivered a special tribute to their two former stars returning to Chicago for the first time since they joined the Knicks this summer.

The tribute was in the form of a video displayed on the United Center Jumbotron, and simply put — it was incredible.

While Noah received a warm welcome from the Bulls faithful, Rose was booed by a significant portion of the crowd every time he touched the ball — loud enough to be heard on the national TV broadcast.

Rose ended up with 15 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds -- Noah with 16 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and a team-high three steals as the Knicks came out on top 117-104, capping an emotional night for the two former Bulls stars.
