Every few years or so, there are a handful of NBA players who make the transition from being an established star to an undeniable superstar of the league.

The Chicago Bulls have been riding high so far early in this season. But they got a sobering dose of reality after they were walloped at the hands of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. It was a battle of the top seeds in both conferences that certainly didn’t live up to the billing […]

The Chicago Bulls are officially back after their hot start to the season.

Dubbed as ‘QB1’, Bulls guard Lonzo Ball reacts to Zach LaVine’s 360 dunk— after throwing a ridiculous pass from the other end of the court. In the fourth quarter of last game’s win against the Mavs, Alex Caruso fell to the ground after garnering another steal, yet managed to find Nikola Vučević, who then found […]

After Lakers legend Kobe Bryant’s shoe deal with Nike came to an end, his wife Vanessa Bryant and the shoe brand announced that they would part ways last spring.

Chicago Bulls All-Star Zach LaVine has finally won four consecutive NBA regular-season games. He did it for the first time in his career on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors. However, LaVine wasn’t in a chipper mood after the game. After all, the Bulls nearly blew a 20-point second-half lead thanks to their offensive sloppiness […]

Former Toronto Raptors star Kyle Lowry was worried that he would have a DeMar DeRozan-type of divorce with the Raptors.

The latter only spent one year in Toronto before signing with the Los Angeles Clippers, but led the Raptors […]

Toronto Raptors fans are well-acquainted with the trade that netted them Kawhi Leonard. The one-year stint the Klaw had up north ended in a championship run, vindicating the decision to send DeMar DeRozan packing.

A new NBA season is fast approaching once again. There’ll be a lot to look forward to: the exciting rookies making their NBA regular season debuts, the Play-In Tournament, and of course, the All-Star Weekend.

DeMar DeRozan seems thrilled to be teaming up with Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls. A couple months removed from his whirlwind dip into free agency, though, it appears at least a small part of the four-time All-Star still wonders what it would’ve been like to play with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. […]

The Chicago Bulls are back, baby. Sure, they may only have one preseason game under their belt.

Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan isn’t new to being on a team that’s clouded with doubt coming into a new season. And, he’s 100% here for it. DeRozan was one of the biggest signings of the Bulls franchise this off-season which also included a lot of key names like Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso to […]

The Chicago Bulls pleased a lot of fans this offseason. Between bringing aboard powerhouses in Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan and continuing to speak on their commitment to hold onto Zach LaVine long-term, the front office certainly did what was necessary to position the team for immediate success, heading into the 2021-22 NBA season. But […]

Chicago Bulls fans are certainly a chatty bunch every offseason, but this summer, they actually have plenty worth talking about.

The Chicago Bulls went for it.

The team already made a splash before last season’s trade […]

It wasn’t long ago that the Chicago Bulls were totally irrelevant. The 2020 NBA All-Star Game was in Chicago, but the Bulls had very little presence during the festivities. Many Bulls fans only remember that weekend for the news that came out about possible changes in the front office, which came after fans chanted “Fire […]

The Charlotte Hornets made a few interesting moves during this offseason in the NBA draft and free agency. Still, a few Hornets trades should be on the horizon, but more on that in a second. Bringing in one of the better scorers in the draft in James Bouknight and a talented rim runner in Kai […]
