Sure this is only one cover of the new Slam Magazine (the other is LeBron in a Knicks jersey…gross), but its still pretty cool: h/t: Tremendous Upside Potential

As July 1 approaches, the Bulls stand on the brink of a franchise-changing, nay, league-changing off-season.  A few poorly-thought out decisions could send them plummeting into mediocrity to toil away as an also-ran in the East for years to come.  The right decisions, well the right decisions could catapult the organization to the heights of [...]

The guys over at SendLebrontoChicago.com were apparently able to raise enough money to buy this billboard at Grand and LaSalle for two weeks.  I’m pretty sure it won’t be the deciding factor for King James, but it may help.  Although if I’m understanding the sign correctly, its saying LeBron has unfinished business?  Because having 6 [...]

h/t: Pick and Roll

Right now, after reading dueling articles from ESPN’s LeBron Tracker, I am finding it more and more difficult to believe LBJ is coming our way. Believe me, I actually thought this was a possibility a couple of months ago, but, after Jackson snubbed the rumor he would be willing to depart L.A. for Chicago, I [...]

We’re not trying to turn this site into “Lebron TMZ” but he is certainly making news with his actions early in his off-season.  From reports of his entourage/team/brain trust showing up at a Troy Smith charity event sporting Bulls gear, to reported brokering by World Wide Wes to package Lebron and John Calipari, the internet [...]

Bill Simmons wrote an excellent piece on the LeBron James situation.  He not only breaks down what LeBron is and can be, he also points out why Chicago is the best option for him: If he cares about winning titles (multiple) and reaching his full potential as a player, he has only one move: the [...]

With LeBron bombing a second straight game and his Cavs being bounced from the playoffs, the speculation about the future of his career is now reaching a fevered pitch.  As July 1 approaches, it will only get crazier.  Fans from Cleveland could not imagine that he would leave, fans from New York could not imagine [...]

By Paul M. Banks, Founder/President of The Sports Bank.net Forget the first round series loss to top-seeded Cleveland, the Chicago Bulls 2009-10 season actually begins on July 1st, the opening of the free agent signing period.

Like a kid having trouble sleeping on Christmas Eve, I sat up last night thinking about what exactly would be said this morning at the Berto Center. For much of the season I was on Team Gar-Pax, but after the March 30th incident, I began to drift over to Team Vinny. Now that didn’t mean [...]

We all knew the end was near for Vinny.  We thought it would happen on Christmas, but when it didn’t it just became a matter of time.  Well the time is now for Vinny.  He will be officially fired at a press conference today.  There will be a lot of time to look back on [...]

By Paul M. Banks and David Kay, President and V.P. of The Sports Bank.net The Chicago Bulls could use a good perimeter scorer, someone who can really light it up from deep. Even though Kirk Hinrich played out of his mind for a couple games of the first round series loss to Cleveland, he’s not [...]

That was an exciting game and the Bulls played decently in the series considering the competition they were up against.  That being said, the officiating in Game 5 was horrendous.  The sequence with Shaq drawing what seemed like 5 fouls on the Bulls big men in under 20 seconds was insane.  Those weren’t close calls. [...]

By Paul M. Banks Founder/President of The Sports Bank.net, Possibly the greatest “second banana” in NBA history, Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen, will enter the basketball Hall of Fame as part of a very special class this year. 2010 inductees include Jerry Buss, Cynthia Cooper, Bob Hurley, Sr., Karl Malone and two celebrated teams: the [...]

This whole video is pretty interesting, but in all honesty you only need to see the first 90 seconds.  It consists of Noah walking through the stadium getting high-fives and congratulations after the big win Thursday night.  It’s clips like this that make me love the kid even more.  He’s so in the moment and [...]
