Zero chance the Bulls win a single title without MJ! After his first retirement they lost in the first and second round of the East and afterthe second retirement they were last in east next three years.
Take Jordan off those Bulls and they still win titles with Pippen. Take LeBron off any of his teams and they win nothing.

Incomplete, he’s still figuring it out. Caleb is getting a long leash and doing work that Matas was last year. I hope Matas continues to work on his 3.
When it all clicks they will be an electric duo.

Great take! This kid can play and he needs more love and to be put in long term core discussion. Let's make sure he gets enough minutes to continue developing.
Leonard Miller is just straight up good. Super young (turns 23 in Nov.) and has plus physical tools for a forward at 6'10, 220 lbs, 7'2 wingspan. He's been one of the Bulls' best players in preseason, and they should be looking to extend him ASAP

Alright 7 it’s your time !
Go win a MAC Championship! 🔥🔥🔥
Sources: Central Michigan has named Angel Flores the starting quarterback, and he’ll start the opener at New Mexico. CMU also plans to play Jadyn Glasser, a junior with three starts at CMU. Glasser missed final 11 games last year with injury.

What a great post! Mental toughness and desire to build it around yourself!
Dear LeBron fans!
LeBron is a freak of nature. Nobody can deny that. He’s one of the greatest athletes we’ve ever seen, blessed with an unbelievable body, and he’s put in insane work for over two decades to keep himself in elite shape. Nothing but respect for that.
But to me, his biggest weakness has always been mental, not physical. He just doesn’t have that killer mentality that guys like Kobe, MJ, Bird, Curry, Luka, or even Brunson, have. When those guys get the ball for the final possession, fans on both sides get nervous because you know they’re looking to end the game. With LeBron, it often feels like you’re expecting a pass, a turnover, or a missed jumper. Outside of bulldozing his way to the rim like a freight train for a layup or dunk, his scoring bag has never been on that level.
The same mindset shows up in his career choices. He never had the desire to spend his entire career with one franchise the way Kobe, Dirk, Duncan, Curry, or Bird did. Like KD, he chose to form or join superteams instead of trying to climb the mountain with one organization. That’s probably one reason KD defends him so much these days: they’ve both faced similar criticism. The difference is KD got roasted for joining Golden State, while LeBron often gets a pass for doing similar things throughout his career. I just wish people kept the same energy.
And that’s all fine. Every superstar doesn’t have to be built the same. LeBron has had an incredible career and he’s absolutely an all-time great. I’ve got no problem putting him in the top 10.
What I can’t get behind is the GOAT argument. That’s where I draw the line. To me, 3.5 championships across 23 seasons just isn’t GOAT material. No matter how you slice it, 6 and 5 will always beat 3.5.
So here’s my peace offer to LeBron fans: if we can agree he’s an all-time great and comfortably top 10, but not top 5, let alone the GOAT, then we can finally stop having the same debate every summer and be friends forever.
Deal? 🤝

This take is not aging well… I want to be wrong but this young man is still WAY off. I would just like to see some effort and toughness.
He sat and watched a full nba season, he should have a clue.
A 6’11” or 7 ft forward in Noa Essengue moving like this is rare & a huge weapon for the Chicago Bulls going forward.
I can’t wait to watch Noa tonight. This will be his 1st real season in the NBA & it starts here in the Summer League.

Scottie Pippen made a valid point.🔥
“My problem is more so with LeBron. If you are the greatest player, if people are saying you are the greatest player, or if people are saying Michael Jordan is the greatest player, why do you need to say it? Michael Jordan has never ever said he’s the greatest player to ever play the game. Why? He’s respected all the other players before him. So, for LeBron to say that, he’s sort of pulling himself out of it because you can’t say you’re the greatest player. You have to allow your peers and the world to say that.”

All of us NBA fans 100% agree with Scottie Pippen's opinion.

RT for a chance to win one of these draft hats SIGNED by Caleb Wilson & Dailyn Swain 👀
Let's NOT question every move this guy makes early on! I for one am trusting his process.
This team is a work in progress. He traded his seconds but signed a couple undrafted role players and still has cap space to make a couple moves.
Bulls GM Bryson Graham was the general manager for a New Orleans Pelicans organization that exclusively exists in irrelevant .
His big accomplishment was running a 46-win Hawks team whose four playoffs losses were by an average of 26.8 ppg.
It’s ok to question him early.

🚨 John Stockton, habló sobre la diferencia que existe entre Michael Jordan y LeBron James 🚨
"No existe dicha comparación, los medios han intentado vender esta noticia para crear controversia entre fanáticos, para mantener con vida el negocio del baloncesto, ya que Michael Jordan siempre es tema de conversación, en cuanto a baloncesto se refieran."
"Cada uno tiene su propia historia, pero no es lo mismo ver un LeBron jugando, que ver un Jordan jugar."
"El juego de LeBron, es un juego de mucho contacto, donde utiliza mucho su físico para llegar a la canasta, es el tipo de juego todos estamos acostumbrados a ver."
"El juego de Jordan, era un juego muy estético y elegante, un juego muy difícil de ver, creó que por esta razón lo extrañan tanto el público, todavía ya retirado observó los videos y me preguntó, cómo es que este hombre podía durar tanto tiempo en el aire."
"Creó que todavía Lebron, no ha hecho nada por la liga como lo hizo Jordan. Todos debemos agradecer el valor que el aportó a la hoy NBA.
"Cuando LeBron dejé un legado de esa magnitud cómo lo hizo Jordan, en ese momento deben empezar a comparar, de lo contrario no está a la altura."
