LIVE: 2014 Chicago Bulls media day

Chicago Bulls media day is here and that means the NBA season is just around the corner.

Media day is easily one of the best times of the year as players get together for the first time as a new team. We get quotes, photos, videos and more as players and the coaching staff are on hand.
