The Derrick Rose Greatest Hits Collection

By

What a magical season it has been for the Chicago Bulls, who secured the best overall record in the entire league. And what a 2010-11 it's been for Derrick Rose, who has become the man-crush of the third largest city in the United States. He is to "us" what pre-2008 Brett Favre was to the entire state of Wisconsin. To quote "Zoolander"...."Hansel- he's just so hot right now," … [Read more...] about The Derrick Rose Greatest Hits Collection

#1 junior Jabari Parker interested in Illini; finally good news for Illinois

By

The typical Illini fan believes life is like 2pac Shakur's second album title, "me against the world." The horrible debacle/national joke that's been the search for a men's basketball coach has only verified that belief. It is the worst of times. It is the worst of times for Illinois fans right now. Hopefully, things will get better when they finally iron out a deal and … [Read more...] about #1 junior Jabari Parker interested in Illini; finally good news for Illinois

Best player in NBA position by position: Dwight, Love, Lebron, Kobe, Deron

By

One of the greatest things about basketball is how simple the positions are: 1-5. Instead of saying "power forward" or "point guard" you can just say "the four" or "at the one." And this is what's lacking in both the All-NBA team and the USA Olympic Dream Team. The All-NBA selections are the top five players in the league, regardless of position. The '09-'10 team lacked a four … [Read more...] about Best player in NBA position by position: Dwight, Love, Lebron, Kobe, Deron

Derrick Rose buys $2.7 million 84th floor condo; now neighbors with Patrick Kane

By

Talk about the top of the Chicago food chain. It seems Chicago Bulls franchise player Derrick Rose and his counterpart on the Blackhawks (although technically Jonathan Toews is the better/more important player) now live in the same building. And not just any building: Chicago's most recently built skyscraper of skyscrapers, Trump Tower. Rose just bought himself a $2.7 … [Read more...] about Derrick Rose buys $2.7 million 84th floor condo; now neighbors with Patrick Kane

The Chicago Cubs week that was and more Cubs stuff

By

After a crazy Cubs week, full of news and groundbreaking signings like those of Trever Miller and Matt Tolbert combined with another eye-opening list of prospects from BA that no one has ever thought of before, it is hard just to catch one’s breath. Can you sense the sarcasm? Good, because I am laying it on pretty thick. And as I am typing this, word breaks across the … [Read more...] about The Chicago Cubs week that was and more Cubs stuff

Chicago Bulls: #1 Record in NBA, Despite Injuries to Rose, Deng, Noah, Boozer

By

The Chicago Bulls have the best record in all the NBA at 15-3. They have a two and a half game lead in the Eastern Conference over Orlando, and only the 13-3 Oklahoma City Thunder have a winning percentage that comes close right now. The league’s reigning MVP Derrick Rose may not play tonight against Deron Williams and the 5-12 New Jersey Nets; he'll be a game time decision. … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls: #1 Record in NBA, Despite Injuries to Rose, Deng, Noah, Boozer

2012 Olympic Basketball Team Unveils 20 Final NBA Candidates

By

Basketball, especially the NBA variety, is truly a night thing; like comedy. So to see the Chicago Bulls playing a live game versus the Memphis Grizzlies at noon on a Monday is pretty cool. It's the Martin Luther King Jr. Day matinee in Memphis, the Civil Rights game. The city is sullen today as it's where MLK was slain in the 1960s. Today, the site of the assassination, the … [Read more...] about 2012 Olympic Basketball Team Unveils 20 Final NBA Candidates
