Sport-locker.net can today reveal that basketball icon and adidas star Derrick Rose gave British basketball fans an NBA experience at a Derrick Rose Jump Store event in Hackney during a trip to the capital.

Fans were given the chance to meet the Chicago Bulls player and also grab a pair of D Rose 3.5 trainers at the exclusive event by ‘dunking’ a pair from one of the store’s high shelves.

Fans were invited to take part after Rose and sponsors adidas advertised the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity across social media channels and in stores in the capital.

The appearance with the 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player was part of the D Rose World Tour spanning two continents, 10 countries, 13 cities and 24 days.
