Tyler Ulis is the kind of guy you root for. Not necessarily because he's one of the rare NBA players who looks you in the eye when he talks to you. He pretty much has to because he's basically the same size you are, the newest Bulls player at barely 5-10 with sneakers. And those sneakers aren't as flat as they once were.
But the kid from Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights is the kind of guy you root for because he's you. Not because he is your size, but because he always was doubted and had to prove himself with his intelligence, his spirit and his dedication.
