they grow so fast…
If I were to show you this picture right after it was taken and use your psychic powers to tell you that this group will collect a total of four rings, you’ll probably nod your head and take a sip of coffee.
Then, if I informed you that all four of those rings belonged to one person, you could instantly hack some of that coffee all over my white shirt. Winning an NBA championship is without a doubt one of the hardest things for him to do in professional sports, but all of this goes beyond the ability to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and win a ring at some point in his career. Saw his five players. crazy.
- If Rose had stayed healthy, do you think the Bulls could have made it to the Finals? Yes, I know Bulls fans have been discussing this issue the most in the last 20 years, and for good reason. At just 23 years old, we watched him lead this franchise to the conference finals. As fast as the series ended, the deep playoff run felt like a “watch your back” performance for the rest of the East Division.Whether they actually made it through the “Big 3” heats is certainly up for debate, but we’ve seen regular season success repeatedly against that group. noneLike, who says a year they didn’t pull off a shocking upset in the end?
- Assuming Rose was uninjured, the Bulls may have had an even better chance when LeBron James left for Cleveland. The roster could struggle with the changes in the NBA’s 3-point era, but with Jimmy Butler and a healthy Rose base, the Bulls were able to achieve very sustained success. That’s why Rose’s story continues to be so hurtful. Chicago may have been set up for years of controversy (I say “might” because the FO in front of it can mess things up.), However Instead, they saw themselves as one of the worst teams in the league near the end of the decade. I’m sad.
- The NBA is a fierce business and I think it’s easy to forget how quickly a career can fall apart. Whether it’s due to injury or simply the league’s interest in finding the next best thing, so many players end up looking outside each summer. As you can see, there are 55 fee agents who finished NBA rosters last year but still don’t have new homes. Tyler Cook and Tristan Thompson are two examples of him for the 2021-22 Bulls.
- Just type “Coby White” into the Bleacher Nation search bar and you’ll see how much I admired him. Coming out of the draft, I was obsessed with White’s scoring prowess. He had a promising three-pointer his stroke, absurdly fast transitions his game, and a surprisingly strong frame that helped him finish around the rim. Granted, that’s all true, but I feel it’s the Bulls’ fault that he couldn’t play consistent basketball and even defend properly remotely… well… wrong.
- If anything, White is given a tremendous opportunity to succeed in Chicago. I think it’s been difficult for him to adapt to so many different roles, but it gives him the opportunity to show his worth as a potential starting guard more than a handful of young players. Even on the roster, White ate 27.5 minutes per game and should have been his most profitable role. Plus I repeatedly struggled to play basketball. See, I’m still keen on what White is going to be in the NBA today, especially as a dependable scorer off the bench and as a catch-and-shoot threat. Stop pretending the NBA’s shortcomings aren’t partly on his shoulders.
- Today’s big MLB news excites Zach LaVine.
- Longtime staffer Sean Hikonbottom has left the franchise for new ventures. will tell you why.
- Candace Parker will be releasing some new kicks soon.
- I don’t think it can be denied. Candace Parker is one of the coolest Chicago athletes right now. Not only is she inducted into the Hall of Fame for her sport, but she is a true superstar whose fame traverses the professional world of her sport. She’s great in commercials. She’s the best on TNT. she’s just awesome.
- Bulls legend signs reigning Eastern Conference champion.
