Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine is out there not trying to prove anything, as he has only one thing in his mind: to get a W. On Sunday, LaVine did just that and had a Michael Jordan-esque energy, as he erupted for 29 points in the first half. It was his backcourt partner Coby White […]

They say everybody wants to be Like Mike. As for Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine, he apparently wants to be like Magic Johnson.

Golden State Warriors reserve guard Damion Lee hit a game-winning triple to sink the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night. Only, it should not have counted.

With the Golden State Warriors starting off their season with back-to-back blowout losses, there’s been a lot of pressure on Dubs superstar Stephen Curry to carry this team the rest of the way. Golden State took on the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night, and unsurprisingly, the former back-to-back MVP put on a show — including […]

The Chicago Bulls dropped to 0-2 on the season with their loss to the Indiana Pacers. Newly appointed head coach Billy Donovan reflected on the team and some important life lessons after their demoralizing defeat. “They don’t handle it. They don’t at all.

Now with the Atlanta Hawks, veteran point guard Rajon Rondo will be entering the 15th season of what has been an illustrious career.

Rondo recently talked about his experience playing against Rose during the latter’s MVP […]

For Wendell Carter Jr., the Chicago Bulls have no one to blame but themselves in their loss to the Atlanta Hawks in the first game of the season. The Bulls posed no threat at all, with Trae Young and Co. going off to a blistering 42-point start in the first quarter before following it up […]

The Atlanta Hawks traded for Clint Capela last season with the hope he could help shore up an awful defense. Unfortunately, Capela didn’t play a single game with the Hawks in 2019-20 due to an injury and the shortened nature of the season, and he’s now going to miss Wednesday night’s season opener against the […]

The Washington Wizards liked Deni Avdija so much they tried to make a trade with the Chicago Bulls to get him with the fourth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, according to Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington.

In today’s piece, we’re using some data, records, numbers and reports to form a (hopefully) educated opinion piece on what would be the Chicago Bulls all-time starting lineup if we were able to pull players from their peak and slot them on a roster right now. Of note, as it is with anything so subjective, […]

The New York Knicks haven’t been on the “winning” side of too many trades (or basketball games, for that matter) in the franchise’s history. However, displays of organizational ineptitude have been more frequent in the James Dolan era (beginning in 1997), and particularly in the 21st century. Now, with a revamped front office led by Leon […]

Lauri Markkanen is entering the final year of his rookie scale deal with the Chicago Bulls this season.

Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports that Markkanen […]

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen is due for a contract extension. But while he’s performed relatively well since entering the NBA in 2017, his recent shooting slump might negatively impact the negotiations. The 23-year-old Markkanen, however, is not fazed, especially when he also has the support of coach Billy Donovan. Markannen told KC Johnson of […]

The Chicago Bulls are a franchise still in search of direction. Years of toiling under the John Paxson-Gar Forman front office duo yielded poor results, beginning in earnest when Chicago’s front replaced Tom Thibodeau with Fred Hoiberg, who later turned into Jim Boylen. However, the Bulls are hoping to round the corner with former Denver […]

Health can be extremely critical in dictating a NBA player’s career, and that’s especially the case for the upcoming season as the league prepares to trek through another difficult, unbalanced season due to COVID-19. Noah Vonleh was the latest NBA player to test positive for the virus. This will unfortunately force him to be the […]

The Chicago Bulls are a storied franchise. There’s no arguing this, as there’s so many championships the team has snagged over the years, it’s rather humorous. Obviously, it also helps that Michael Jordan laced up his sneakers to play for the Windy City franchise. You know, because MJ was a pretty good basketball player. Hot-take, […]

The Chicago Bulls faced the Houston Rockets on Friday in what was the first preseason outing for both sides.

In his time with the Chicago Bulls, Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen was regarded as one of the best players to ever, and the second-in-command right alongside the great Michael Jordan.

In his mind, the 55-year-old Bulls […]

The first bid started at $25,000 and reached the last bid […]

Since “The Last Dance” first aired on ESPN last spring, Scottie Pippen — along with other former Chicago Bulls — has not been shy about voicing his displeasure about the docu-series.

After a forgettable season mired with injuries, Otto Porter Jr. now appears primed for a bounce-back campaign with the Chicago Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls are building something interesting through the draft.

Zach LaVine was supposed to be that […]
