What if: Bulls win the Championship

 So as we know the Chicago bulls are currently the hottest team in the East right now in the NBA. We have not had a good  Chicago Bulls team since 2010. This is very exciting to think about but also scary. If we do happen to win the championship what is going to happen to the city? Lets take a look back in history.... When Michael Jordan and the bulls three peat in the 90's the city was raided and cars were flipped and lit on fire. Would this be the case now if the Bulls were to win the championship? It is still along shot because there is a lot of basketball to be played still, but the Chicago Bulls are hands down a top five team in the NBA currently. If we stay healthy and continue to perform at this level we have a real chance to win it all. If we win the championship I think that the city of Chicago will shut down due to the partiers and antics that will take place on the streets. I hope that the Bulls can win it all, but only time will tell. Until then continue to bet on ...

Michael Jordan flu game

In game five of the 1997 NBA finals verses the Utah Jazz Michel Jordan got food poisoning or "the flu" after eating a pizza delivered to his hotel room the night before the game. He had a 101 degree fever and fatigue. Despite his mom and coaches telling him not to play, he decided to play because he knew that his team needed him if they wanted a chance to beat the Jazz after trailing in the series by a game. This was a must win game for the bulls and Michael Jordan was ready to give it his all. By the end of the game, the bulls had won, Michael Jordan had 38 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and three steals. He was deemed to have the flu and still had the best game out of all of his teammates. After the game Michael Jordan said "This was probably the most difficult thing I have ever done.". Throughout the game he had to go the the bench to rest and drink lots of water, he even had to go to the locker room at points to throw up because his stomach was so sick. M...

Player Spotlight: "Talk of the NBA" Giannis Antetokounmpo

      As of late, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been the talk of the NBA. He just led the Milwaukee Bucks to an NBA championship last season, and did it without joining a "super team".  This was a big feat, because the last teams to win a Championship since 2017 had been "super teams". This was starting to turn fans away, and have them lose faith in the league. Giannis was able to "save the league" and prove everyone wrong that the only way to win an NBA championship now was to join or create a "super team". You make be asking yourself "what is a super team?" or "What makes a team to be a super team?".  A super team is a professional sports team with 3 or more all star caliber players on it, at the same time. For example, in 2010 when Lebron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. This was the first time a "super team" had been formed. Sure, teams have had more than three ...
