Rose Only After A Championship

(WSCR) Fresh off of signing a five-year, $94 million extension with the Bulls, there is only one thing on Bulls point guard Derrick Rose's mind.

Winning a championship.

Take away the MVP and Rookie of the Year trophies he has earned -- he doesn't care. He wants one thing.

"You know, with me, basketball is first," he told SI.com on Thursday. "My biggest thing is to win a championship. I could care less about contracts. Of course they make my family life more comfortable, but it's just basketball.

"All the other things are perks. I don't take them for granted. I appreciate them, and my endorsements. But the reason I got them is because of basketball, and I'll never forget that."
