Antoine Griezmann was one of the stars for France’s World Cup victory — he scored on a penalty kick against Croatia in the Final, helping France to the 4-2 win. He had four goals over the course of the tournament, all scored with his left foot. The Atlético Madrid star is one of the world’s great strikers.
And he is a MASSIVE Derrick Rose fan.
How big? Not long after winning the World Cup, he interrupted an English interview with Paul Pogba to express his Derrick Rose love.

Need a jersey, @AntoGriezmann? We got you.pic.twitter.com/1QcMtQMvd8
Griezmann may be a bigger Rose fan than Tom Thibodeau... nah, not possible. But Griezmann is second on the list.
This is not some out-of-the-blue joke. Griezmann has said before he would only leave Madrid to play with Rose, and back in 2013 called Rose his No. 1 idol.

The Timberwolves need to get that man a Rose jersey fast.
