I give an exception to Glide2keva he is friends with wades family and has been to his draft parties ect
Of course I wasn't feeling what he said about the Bulls. But we are from the same neighborhood and that means more to me than anything. I don't root for him when he plays the Bulls. I love nothing more than seeing the Bulls beat him, because he's not playing here.
But to deny my connection to him and our shared to connection to the Washington Park area of Chicago is to deny my own upbringing.
As a Player, I love his game. It's straight Chicago ball, just like Rose plays. Rose plays more true the Chicago style because we never call fouls on the streets. We don't bitch about fouls, we just get back on D and embarrass the guy with a steal or a block.

But as far as everything else is concerned. I'm a Bulls fan first and a player fan second.
