Joao Meira is enjoying all the benefits of living in a sports-rich city like Chicago.
A self-proclaimed basketball fan, the Portuguese centerback made it a point early on to get out and see the six-time NBA champions in person upon his arrival in Chicago, and he was back at the United Center for opening night against Boston on Oct. 27.
“I love basketball,” he said. “Sometimes in Portugal I used to go to watch some games, but here it’s so different. The NBA is another world. It’s amazing. The Chicago Bulls are a fantastic team.
