Who was that masked man? Well, in that it was a see-through mask, the answer was fairly clear — especially to Chicago Bulls fans. Richard “Rip” Hamilton returned to the court after missing 19 games with a shoulder injury. He was a late addition to the starting lineup in a game Monday (April 2) the [...]
Derrick Rose runs with some fast company. At least in his latest ad from adidas. The Chicago Bulls star and reigning NBA Most Valuable Player is shown running along with singer Katy Perry and soccer stars David Beckham and Lionel Messi.

Kyle Korver and Carlos Boozer used to play for the Utah Jazz. Given the way the two performed Saturday night for the Chicago Bulls, the Jazz just might be wishing they still did. Starting in place of injured Luol Deng, Korver scored a season-high 26 points in a 111-97 victory at the United Center. Boozer [...]
