Just a fun little story about the league, centered around a former Bulls favorite that I thought would be worth sharing!

it’s really hard to be believe that we’re in the twilight for Rose now. All those 2008 guys – Gallo, Kevin Love, DeAndre all going to retire soon…then there’s Westbrook still throwing down lobs lmao

Well that’d be awesome. I’d love to just hear him talk while he whoops my ass in chess. Nothing but love for that man.

Good read! I love chess. Suck at it but it’s a fun mental exercise. I see why a lot of pro athletes seem borderline addicted to it. Most fans will fawn over a highlight reel dunk, moonshot home run, etc. but the guys who are truly dedicated to the craft appreciate the strategic mastery required to excel at the pro level of sports. And chess is a battle of pure strategic mastery.

Does anyone have the chess.com app? they have AI profiles of NBA players that you can play against, and they’re all much, much better than I am…Jaylen Brown has a 1275 rating and Gordon Hayward is at 1350

So is Rose actually an idiot savant? Ball and chess?
