A LONG POST ABOUT JOSH GIDDEY... I'm truly sick of talking about Josh Giddey's worth; I only keep talking about it because the disrespect gets loud repeatedly when he's done nothing to earn it. I want to leave my thoughts at this: I started playing & watching basketball when I was 7 years old. I was always short compared to people my age, so I was taught & coached at Point Guard through 12 years of organized play. I started for 8 of those years. I think that's relevant because through all of those years, I was coached that the Point Guard had one objective: Making your teammates better. Obviously, there were other objectives like hitting your wide open 3s, hitting your free throws, giving max effort defensively, etc - but my coaches were always most pleased with me when I ran the offense well and made scoring easier for my teammates, particularly when I recognized when someone was hot or when our best players needed to score, and acted accordingly. So when the Chicago Bulls bring in a player who ranks in the 98th percentile for creating wide open shots for his teammates multiple years in a row, I think that's fuckin' awesome. Players like Steph Curry, SGA and Jalen Brunson have added to the definition of Point Guard, as they've shown that your primary ballhandler can also be your primary scorer, and you can win championships that way. But instead of that style being ADDED to what winning team composition looked like when it comes to the Point Guard position, it REPLACED it. I don't think that's fair nor does it make sense. Just because teams have won that way recently, doesn't mean that you have to win that way. The folks who say you can't win with Giddey tend to insist that your team can't win with a pass-first Point Guard. I just don't agree. I've watched pass-first Point Guards win repeatedly in my lifetime. That style didn't become less effective. It just became less common. Let's say Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis become a Top 5 duo in the NBA, and they're just absolutely BALLING. People would have me believe that regardless of how good they are, the team would lose if Josh Giddey was playing Point Guard? That notion is absolutely ridiculous to me. I'm not saying Giddey should be your 1st or 2nd best player. I'm simply saying you can build a championship roster that includes him starting for you, and I don't understand why there is so much fight against idea. Would the Shaq/Kobe Lakers have lost if Giddey was their starting PG instead of Derek Fisher? Would the MJ/Pippen Bulls have lost if Giddey was the starting PG instead of Paxson or Harper? If you're saying Yes to those questions, I think you're insane. The arguments against him act as if he actively holds the Bulls back from winning. I've played & watched basketball for too long to suddenly believe that someone who contributes like Giddey is a net negative to your team. I've said what I wanted to say. I want to be done talking about this, but I know that's likely impossible given the constant need to use him as a scapegoat. I hope Josh Giddey knows there are many Bulls fans out here who are rooting for him to succeed and who do appreciate his contributions to the team. They just aren't as loud as the negative ones, unfortunately. #ChicagoBulls #JoshGiddey #BullsNation #SeeRed

My Chicago Bears Breeze Post Game Show! • Despite missing multiple starters, the #ChicagoBears defense steps up big time - ESPECIALLY in the run game! • Caleb Williams' return proves how much he means to #DaBears • Kyler Gordon balls out! & more! youtu.be/uvl1naJnAPA

Many Bulls fans made me think that Josh Giddey would be #1 on this list. Imagine my surprise to find that he's not even on it, but beloved former #ChicagoBulls Coby White, Zach LaVine & DeMar DeRozan are. I guess as long as your game is pretty, the substance doesn't matter.

My @TheSixthBanner cohost @NeillChiBulls dropped his latest Battlegrounds episode on Bulls Without Borders! Neill's special solo series breaks down Chicago Bulls players, current/former, vs. other stars with ELITE presentation. GIVE IT A TRY! 🙏🙏🙏 youtu.be/_8ptawVW_VQ?si=hTAw…

I got a lot of love tonight from everyone in my chat, especially when I started up. It was really awesome and it made me feel really good to know people like tapping in with me ffor these games. I've been starting to do this long enough, I think, where it feels like I'm building a real bond with a number of people in Bulls Nation through watching these games. Sammady, Dan Tanna, Howie, DQuickens, Romie, Jeremy, Midnight, Trev, Slayer, and multiple others who I know I'm not thinking of at this moment; I love getting to experience the Chicago Bulls with you guys. I know there's even more who watch but just don't participate in the comments section, and I appreciate you guys too. Every time any folks in #BullsNation might bring me down with pessimism or negativity, I know I can count on connecting with my homies in the Breeze Family to help me remember why I love being a part of the Bulls fanbase in the first place. See Red y'all ♥️🖤🤍
