TORONTO, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- Former MVP Derrick Rose of New YorkKnicks visited Air Canada Centre on Saturday night for first timenot as a member of the Chicago Bulls.
Rose's 21 points and four assists were not enough as the teamfell 118-107 to Toronto Raptors and dropped to 3-7 to begin theseason.
Prior to the game, the three-time All Star took time to speak toXinhua about playing in the NBA's largest market and his hobbiesoff the court.
As a native of Chicago and having been a member of the Bullssince being drafted first overall in the 2008 draft, the28-year-old was traded in the offseason along with Justin Holidayand a 2017 second-round draft pick to New York Knicks for RobinLopez, Jose Calderon, and Jerian Grant.
The trade in the summer put Rose in unchartered territory byhaving to live in an unfamiliar city and play with a neworganization.
"I think I'm built for it. The way that I play and how hard Iwork, I think I'm built for that crowd," said Rose beforeSaturday's game. "I'm trying to feel everything out. Not trying torush it."
Despite the poor start to the season, the Knicks enter theseason with changes to both the coaching staff and roster.
After two seasons under former head coach Derek Fisher, JeffHornacek was brought along in June to lead the team's bench.

"It's different than wanting to go out there and put up 25(points) or 30 (points) every night," said Rose who used to be theprimary scoring option on Chicago. "You got to figure out how towin as a group first and then you start adding on personalgoals."
