The opening acts were … meh.
Familiar faces with the mic, saying a lot of familiar things.
Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas was still singing the same song and dance about the 15-5 finish to last year’s regular season, coach Billy Donovan talking about toughness needed, Coby White was confident his calf strain wouldn’t sideline him much longer, while Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu and Nikola Vucevic each spoke about their immediate futures – known and unknown.
An uninspiring showcase by the Bulls on Monday’s media day.
Until the headliner that is.
