It is well know that Larry Bird helped Jalen Rose to develop his game. Chicago Bulls guard Fred Hoiberg told Rose that he is ?going to see a lot of things in Bill Cartwright that (he) saw in Larry Bird.?

So far, Rose is delighted on what he sees on Bill. "The thing I like about Bill? And it's odd that he has a problem with his voice? Is when he talks, you should listen," Rose said.

Under Bill Cartwright and playing for the Chicago Bulls, Jalen Rose had his career-high 44 points, including the buzzer-beating game-winner against the Rockets. Walt Williams, who guarded Rose, had words that described him as a complete player. "Jalen is a guy who can shoot spot-up shots, he can shoot off the dribble and he can go to the basket ? when you have all that in your arsenal, you're going to be tough to stop."
