Mandatory Credit: Mike Powelll/Allsport   During his honored NBA career, Michael Jordan starred in many big games. The Chicago Bulls legend never hesitated to assert his dominance over rivals, and when the playoffs arrived, he took it to the next level. In the 1992 NBA Finals, fans witnessed a big moment in Jordan’s career during Game 1 of this series. The legendary shooting guard went off on the Portland Trail Blazers, as he was on a mission. NBA fans are celebrating 31 years of the ‘shrug game,’ where Jordan did exactly that, shrugged, after hitting a big three-pointer against the Blaze ..read more

They held the best record in the conference heading into All-Star weekend and were winning games behind the strength of one of the best defenses in pro basketball. But a midseason meniscus injury to guard Lonzo Ball mucked up their plans, and the Bulls plunged and struggled as he missed the rest of the season. Ball still hasn’t returned, as he hasn’t responded well to rehab, and now the organization privately fears that his NBA car ..read more

Just when everybody thought everything was lost for the Celtics, White grabbed a rebound off of Marcus Smart’s 3-point attempt and made a big bucket to beat the Heat. This was a memorable moment not only for him and his team but the entire NBA. Celtics reporter Jay King revealed that this was the second buzzer-beater in NBA history made by a player whose team was facing elimination and trailing at the ti ..read more

Added to all the rumors involving DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, they also have a serious concern with Lonzo Ball. The point guard has only played 35 games for the six-time NBA champions, and his return to the court is unclear. So much so that the Chicago Bulls ‘privately believe’ that the former No. 2 overall pick will never play again, per Dan Bernstein. The Chicago Bulls privately don’t think that it’s likely Lonzo Ball will ever play again, per @dan_bernstein on O ..read more

(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)   Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen recently made headlines after he once again went off on Michael Jordan, making bold claims about his former teammate. Pippen’s relationship with Jordan completely changed after the 2020 premiere of the Chicago Bulls’ 10-part docu-series ‘The Last Dance.’ The so-called ‘point forward’ didn’t like the way he was portrayed in the documentary and after that, he started attacking Jordan for whatever reason. On Friday, Pippen boldly called Michael Jordan a ‘horrible’ player before he landed in Chicago to become Jordan’s ..read more

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   The Chicago Bulls had big expectations when they teamed up Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Nikola Vucevic. Two years ago, they were seen as a solid team in the Eastern Conference but after two seasons, the team is no better than a play-in squad. Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan have been unable to lead them to a deep playoff run, which has started to create doubt about this team and its ceiling. LaVine has been mentioned in potential trades around the league, and executives around the association don’t think he’ll complete his contract wit ..read more

After praising LeBron James, Pippen said Jordan was a “horrible player” before he and others joined the Bulls in the late 1980s. This follows other comments Pippen has made in the recent past about Jordan and his legendary career. It certainly caused quite a reaction online. “LeBron James will be the greatest statistical [player] to ever play the game of basketball. [Michael Jordan] was a horrible player.” – Scottie Pippen (h/t @DieHardCBfa ..read more

Getting out of Thibs’ doghouse is almost impossible, and once you’ve fallen out of the rotation, only a major string of injuries could make you set foot on the floor again. That’s why we shouldn’t expect Derrick Rose to be back at the Madison Square Garden next season, as t ..read more

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)   Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen is one of the most underrated players of all time, as he’s often overlooked as one of the best to ever do it. Playing under the shadow of Michael Jordan was never easy for Pippen, but he embraced his role on the Bulls and tried to help his team whenever he could. Many years have gone by since he decided to end his career, and more fans seem to appreciate Scottie more. He was the author of one of the most memorable dunks in NBA history, and fans are celebrating that moment today. 29 years ago today, Scottie Pipp ..read more

(Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)   When the Chicago Bulls put together the dynamic duo of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine a few years ago, and the team started to have some success, it seemed like the storied NBA franchise was on the verge of becoming a force to be reckoned with once again. Unfortunately, the Bulls have failed to live up to expectations year after year in the DeRozan-LaVine era, and now the six-time NBA champions appear ready to shake things up. According to Sam Smith of Bulls.com, significant changes could be on the horizon for Chicago, which means the team could be ..read more
