Prior to the Bulls' matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers Monday night, Benny teased a possible number change multiple times on social media in honor of Rose. He held a mock news conference where he was asked to address it. Benny made no comment, instead showing off a sign that read: "I've got 99 problems but my number ain't 1."
