I heard an interview with him where she asked if he was going to the slam dunk competition and it seemed like it depended on whether he was picked to be an all star.

Confidence is ok, but this sounds very 'entitled'. Either way, it's up to him to put up or shut up.

It depends how they get picked again, if its buddy buddy system with that captains BS, then who knows. He would need to be voted in if they are doing that, either that or start kissing LeBron or Freaks ass.

True, he had the numbers to make the team last year. But with it being in Chicago this year, I’d be shocked if he isn’t on the team with the same or better numbers as last year. The bulls winning more, as he mentioned would help a lot

On a side note, bulls aren’t on this list...so they made the top 15 for a “watchability” score. It’s not just “homers” like me that think they have some potential and will be a fun team to watch.

I think they can be a fun team to watch for sure.

Being an all star is a meaningless award. Kind of like the pro bowl in the NFL. The bulls have had all stars before. Rose, noah, gasol, deng. None of those all stars won a ring.

I'm with you 100%. I want to see a team win a Championship without any all-stars.

If the Bulls can get into the playoffs, I think he'll also make an All-NBA team.

He gave an interview the other day saying he is concentrating at becoming a complete player and working hard on the defensive side as well. When steals lead to dunks and sportscenter top 10's, it also leads to all star voting.

I think he’s looked decent on defense so far in the pre season. Definitely improved.

Our shortest starter is 6'7". Nobody can stop the ball in the first 7 of rotation. Just don't be surprised when the real PG's put up 30 and 40 on us with 15 assists.

I think only 1 guy, Lavine, is really any good at running the floor.

I'm not sure this team makes the playoffs in any era.

Garpax have to go. Clearly the Bulls are even less than the sum of their parts. That boils is the coach tells me everything, Bulls are doomed until Reinsdorf is gone. White Sox probably too, though they are close enough to have some pictching luck and be something, but a bit deja vu...that team is going to be bad at defense too.
