Covering the Chicago Bulls for “The Bigs” — the only Black-owned and fully-credentialed independent, sports media outlet in the city.
Here’s what Jimmy Butler told @thebigs.bsky.social about the Bulls still having won fewer games without him than they did with him.

“That’s a helluva stat.”

Season-long skid reaches seven games.

Fun fact with Jimmy Butler back in the United Center.

The Bulls won 276 games in the six seasons he was on the roster.

They’ve won 275 games in the eight seasons — and counting — since he’s been gone.

Billy Donovan’s regard for Tre Jones knows no bounds.

His nose for the ball and willingness to give up his body — like when threw his 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame in front of 6-foot-7, 232-pound Cam Whitmore — explain why.

“He’s a winner.”
