i wasn’t old enough to appreciate my teams when i was younger. i knew i loved them. but true loyalty shined through when i moved away from the core of my sports heart. 1993 was the year i moved out here. that was also the year my bulls beat the suns in the championship. being the new kid aint easy. being the new kid who likes the team that just beat your team in the championship isn’t all roses either. i can easily say i’m a bigger fan of the bulls now than when i was when they won 6 championships in 8 years. back then i simply expected to win and thought it was pathetic if it was any other way. and now after a decade of rebuilding.. this process should only take a couple of years mind you… my level of appreciation has grown exponentially. watching my team develop i came to respect how we went about taking care of our business. being the scrappy team full of heart if not skill. came to respect the fact the bulls still rank within the top 5 in attendance every year no matter their record. i came to respect the voices that broke down the love that i have for the game of basketball and the chicago bulls. i’ve been honored to come from a state in which legends called the play-by-play. For the Cubs I had Harry Caray. And for the Bulls I had the late Red Kerr. Both broadcasted the game as I feel it should be… like a fan. Where I am today, majoring in broadcast has a lot to do with them. I wanted to be a sports broadcaster forever. However, I came to realize after going to a school that instills such a code of ethics in you… there was no way I would be allowed to broadcast with such bias. It’s a dying trend and will remain sacred to the legends that have done so in the past.
