DeMar DeRozan joined Michael Jordan as the only Bulls in franchise history with 40-plus points and 10-plus assists in same game.
DeRozan appreciated that but would trade it for a win, and saved his biggest praise for Coby White.

DeMar DeRozan’s passing is benefitting the Bulls in multiple ways. Billy Donovan and Patrick Williams insightfully described how on Sunday.
Just don’t ask DeRozan about his free throws.

Two news tidbits reported Friday during IST festivities by my podcast partner Chris Haynes: DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls remain far apart on contract extension talks, increasing the likelihood that DeRozan will be made available by the Bulls before the Feb. 8 trade deadline. DeRozan is earning $28.6 million this season in the final year of his original three-year, $81.9 million deal with Chicago. -via marcstein.substack.com / December 11, 2023
The four-time league Most Valuable Player even surpassed a legend on the all-time NBA steals list. With three steals against the Rockets, James displaced former Portland Trail Blazers star Clyde Drexler in the eighth spot on the list, which also put him just four notches back of Michael Jordan. -via Clutch Points / November 20, 2023
Jonathan Feigen: LeBron James shares a hug with Hakeem Olajuwon before the tip, with handshakes for Clyde Drexler and Elvin Hayes, too. -via Twitter @Jonathan_Feigen / November 8, 2023
In 1984, after coaching Michael Jordan on the gold-medal-winning U.S. Olympic team, Portland general manager Stu Inman called Knight for advice on the upcoming NBA draft. Knight counseled Inman to take Jordan, calling Jordan the best basketball player he had ever seen. Inman told Knight the Blazers already had Clyde Drexler and needed a center. Knight responded, “Then play Jordan at center.” Knight was the first Division I men’s basketball coach to win 900 games. He was the most prolific winner in Big Ten history, won three NCAA titles at Indiana, went to five Final Fours and led the United States to the 1984 Olympic gold medal. He innovated the motion offense and influenced countless coaches with his teaching of the game. One cannot think of Indiana basketball without thinking of Bob Knight. -via ESPN / November 2, 2023
