It’s a phone call that needs to be made. As a matter of fact, it should have been made days ago. If not, shame on Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas. With NBA fall camps set to tip-off this week, news broke that Houston point guard – and team heartbeat – Fred […]

STAMFORD, Conn. — Multiple criminal charges were dropped Monday against former Bulls guard Ben Gordon, who was arrested in 2023 after authorities say he began behaving erratically in a Connecticut juice shop.

Former Bulls forward Carlos Boozer can really pick ’em. He proved that during the summer. Boozer walked onto the show “The Kings Court” looking for love, and when all the elimination dinners were wrapped up, he found it, by all accounts. He’s still in a relationship with his final choice, Janaye Robinson. That’s lottery gold. […]

There is a number that can’t be ignored coming out of the Josh Giddey extension agreement this past week. In bringing Giddey back at a very reasonable four years, $100 million, the Bulls will be paying the starting point guard an average of just $7 million per year more than the once promising prospect that […]

The Bulls announced their second class for the Ring of Honor on Friday. The hope is to just have a Ring of Happiness. That wasn’t exactly the case for the inaugural class two years ago, headlined by six-time champion Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Jordan was a no show, sending in a video to be […]

Josh Giddey is a heck of a salesman after all. The Bulls announced on Tuesday that they had agreed with Giddey on a four-year, $100 million contract extension, ending an ongoing false narrative that the two sides were dug in when it came to a new deal being reached. The Sun-Times reported throughout the offseason […]

Last weekend, it was a standing ovation at “The Swamp,” his old stomping ground. This weekend, it was a stroll into immortality in Springfield, Massachusetts.

DALLAS — A basketball card autographed by Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant has sold for nearly $13 million at auction, a record for any sports card.

Mediocrity for an NBA team isn’t all bad. Christmases off, for one. Avoiding the pressure of nationally televised games week after week. No being scrutinized by the talking heads on ESPN’s “NBA Today.” For the Bulls, the seats at the United Center stay filled and the Michael Jordan statue remains a photo op, even as […]

The Emirates NBA Cup in-season tournament hasn’t been kind to the Bulls during the first two years of its existence, and Year 3 doesn’t appear any easier.
