So, 2010 is finally here.  For most people, its just another year, but for NBA fans its been a longtime coming.  This summer the most heralded class of free agents since 2000 (which featured Tim Duncan, Grant Hill, and Tracy McGrady) will be coming onto the market.  A lot of teams have been jockeying for [...]

The Bulls game was not a pretty affair last night, and I’m not just talking about the blowout the Cleveland LeBrons put on Chicago. Noah, frustrated with his play perhaps but also annoyed with LeBron’s showboating and celebrating too much, started barking at LeBron from the bench. LeBron took exception to that and [...]

I’m not saying the Cavs should hit the panic button, but after the 0-2 start, it might be time to give Shaq a new nickname.  What do you think of  “The Big Shaqckle”?

Wilt Chamberlain scores 100 points in a game yet it wasn’t televised.  Did it really happen?  Lawrence Taylor sends hookers to the opposing team’s rooms the night before the Super Bowl, but no one can confirm or deny it (well, some people have confirmed it, but still).  William Wallace was 10-feet tall and shot lightning [...]

Ok so Utah matched Millsap’s offer sheet which puts them at $81 million in salary.  That is pretty much the death knell for Boozer’s tenure in Utah.  The Boozer-Hinrich-Thomas rumor lives on. [By The Horns]
Some suspended tennis player had his drug suspension lifted after convincing a panel that the cocaine was in his system from [...]

Top ten moments in Chicago sports in the last decade.  They aren’t all good either.  Yikes. [Pippen Ain't Easy]
Soriano is upset about his recent benching.  Here’s what I have to say about that: Hit. [Tribune]
Tallon cleaned up most of his mess regarding the Blackhawks qualifying offers.  It was expensive though. [Sun-Times]
LeBron James got dunked on, [...]

Well that was an interesting draft.  A lot of big moves happened leading up to the draft and there were some minor trades during the draft.  Some guys slipped and some guys jumped, but for the most part there weren’t too many surprises once the draft began.
The Bulls:
With the 16th and 26th pick, I was [...]

Whoa!  Shaq to Cleveland could change the face of the East, or not.  It will still be fun.  Here’s a good look at all the roles that will have to be shifted on the Cavs for this trade to work out in Cleveland. [BDL]
Hilarious fake tweets from athlete’s twitter accounts. [Luol's Dong]
Jeff Jordan, MJ’s son, [...]

Is this real?  Is it fake?  Who cares, because this little flip and 3/4 court shot is ridiculous.

If you have been watching any television at all lately then you have seen those goofy LeBron-Kobe puppet commercials.  For the most part they are funny and elicit a snicker out of me (the first 50 times at least).  Obviously the NBA and Nike both had their hopes set on a LeBron-Kobe Finals and these [...]

The Bulls are probably going to take Tyler Hansborough with one of their picks.  Don’t be mad though, he might be a good fit (albeit a white, unathletic one). [Blogabull]
It looks like the acquisition of Cutler may have boosted the Bears organization ratings according to a new Fox Sports study. [WCG]
So how is Deadspin different [...]

As many of our readers know, I just received my JD and am currently studying for the bar (most of the time).  Law is basically the only thing that goes through my head these days (besides this stupid blog of course).  NQTC reader Malach, who is also studying for the bar this summer, decided to [...]

Whether you love or hate LeBron James and/or the Cleveland Cavaliers, at some point you have to start feeling sorry for Cleveland fans.  I mean there are many cities with long traditions of losing professional sports franchises, but Cleveland really is the worst.  Here in Chicago, the Cubs and White Sox went about 100 years [...]

This video is intense.  I don’t know whether to laugh or just be weirded out.

One question: Why MJ’s crossover? I would have gone with his competitive spirit or ability to make his teammates better. Weird.

If you didn’t catch it last night, Lebron made a ridiculous game-winner over Hedo’s outstretched arms with the clock expiring to catapult the Cavs to a 96-95 win.  For us Bulls fans, nothing will ever top Jordan’s shot on Ehlo (besides his shot on Russell and other MJ exploits, but that is besides the point), [...]
