I waited more than a year to get this card. Now I’ve got both of the Chicago Bulls cards from the 2012-13 Panini Preferred booklet set. #CardSky

I know today is all about the NFL, but the NBA will be back before we know it—which is why I spoke with the talented @josheberley.bsky.social about his basketball card collection and his advice to cardboard-lovers ahead of the 2026-27 season courtyard.io/blog/post/ba...

The USA won’t be a proper basketball country again until the price of Wilson Evolutions come down.

Call me an Unc, but I just realized I was a teen during Chicago's (modern) Golden Age: - Rap: Common, Kanye, and Lupe in their primes - Sports: A Bears Super Bowl run and the start of the D Rose era - Politics: Don't ever sleep on Barry O!

The “new” Mac Miller really is a time and a place, man. The sound that resonated across the rap scene in 2016 felt so fresh. I always described it as taking a beat and submerging it underwater. Miss that.

I love that my unathletic CB genuinely wants to beat his man off the dribble to bring the ball into the attacking third. Oh captain, my captain: Harry! #ManUnited

Only Sorare could have me hyped about the return of the Eredivisie. If you love all things fantasy sports, it’s worth a look.

A kid born in 2008 just told me that Mario Chalmers was a dog. Maybe the kids are alright after all.

I sincerely hope Pulisic isn’t a part of the #USMNT’s 2030 squad. We need more Tyler Adams energy—laughing in Trossard’s face—and less of “Captain America’s” whining.

The "hydration break" really is a perfect American capitalist innovation: a nakedly commercial play to insert more ad revenue into a game that doesn't have ads anywhere else in the world, all under the guise of some humanitarian interest in the players' wellbeing.

RIP to an absolute legend, Stacey King. I hope Stacey is remembered as a man of the people. He would stay for 45 minutes to an hour after games every night for 20 years in order to take pictures and meet Bulls fans.

I’m convinced Matas is this generation’s Luol Deng. Can someone tell me which early aughts Bull Chicago is drafting with the 4th overall pick? Please put it into terms a Tyrus Thomas fan can understand.

Hey #NBAsky. I need help settling a debate I had with a friend. Over the next five years, who would you rather have on your squad: Giddey or Kuminga?

LaMelo Ball is that kind of must-see basketball that’s really hard to sum up. One of those “No! Yes! NO!” kind of players that Eric Collins was truly made for.

Congrats to the SEC and the rest of the South on yet another Civil War Trophy for a hypothetical win! You talked a big game heading into this year’s March Madness, and nobody can take those mental victories away from you.

The Reinsdorfs are slumlord owners of a poverty franchise. Adam Silver needs to step in and make them sell the Bulls, there is no other way to restore dignity to one of the league's great markets.
