New York Knicks newcomers Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah were booed unmercifully when they made their return to Chicago on Friday night.

Noah felt the treatment the worst when he was announced via the starting lineups. Here’s D-Rose getting an earful while in action:

It wasn’t all cold shoulder. The Bulls organization put together this tribute video for the two players that was played prior to the game:
