their reasoning is that chicago has jordan and his 6 championships to live up to. new york sucks and winning one title will make lebron god of madison square garden

Well, Boston isn't really an option, so they have to go to their second choice...

Why doesnt Pat Riley get the "He had the best players" garbage that Phil gets?

Riley never won a title without having at least 2 top 10, if not top 5, NBA players.

I agree and I think it's a bad rap. All championship teams have great talent. Like I said, Phil is an all-time great coach. Very few coaches would've been able to get egomaniacs like Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Rodman, Kobe, Rodman, and Shaq to play together...but he did. There's a reason Doug Collins didn't win in Chicago but Phil did. He's a great manager of personalities. It takes more than coaching talent to win a championship.

That being said, I just find Phil to be extremely annoying.

exactly, db! And I don't buy the idea of his having to compete with the Bulls dynasty - Did Shaq give that a thought when he went to the Lakers??

Bulls no longer have a chance . . .

It's a done deal.

We don't need to hear anything about what goes on in a gas station bathroom.

Zippy, your avatar freaks me out.

Im not easily freaked out, but that does it.

if lebron does come here, id like to see ben gordon return as 6th man. having noah, rose and lebron starting (with another key player for center), i think a great alternative bench would be hinrich and gordon... it would really be two different teams, one with strengths and strengths the other with hold-down capability.

There will be NBA basketball for only 1 of those 2 years.

Include President Obama as another Chicago Bulls fan rooting for LeBron James to move to Chicago.

"He doesn't want to tamper," senior adviser to the president -- and former Bulls season-ticket holder -- David Axelrod said. "But as a Chicago fan, the president thinks LeBron would look great in a Bulls uniform."

James, whose Cleveland Cavaliers were eliminated from the playoffs Thursday by the Boston Celtics, becomes a free agent on July 1. Many believe he could be headed to the Bulls.

The president, a former U.S. senator from Illinois and state senator from Chicago, never has shied away from his sporting roots. He frequently wears his Chicago White Sox cap; has attended a Washington Wizards victory over the Bulls last season; and also hosted the Bulls on a tour of the White House.

And Obama just couldn't resist slipping in some trash talk when the Los Angeles Lakers visited the White House following their 2008-09 NBA title.

"I'm especially excited to meet Coach Phil Jackson, the 'Zen Master,'" Obama said. "I've been a fan of Coach Jackson's ever since his days running the triangle offense in Chicago. I want to congratulate him on his 10th NBA title, the most in history, but I do want to point out that six of them came with the Bulls."

Later, Obama playfully taunted Magic Johnson as he re-enacted Michael Jordan's "spectacular move" from Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals when Jordan, in midair, switched the ball from right to left hand before laying it in.

"[The Lakers] won the first game, so they were feeling cocky ... [John] Paxson was hitting all those shots ..." Obama said.

Obama also filmed a video tribute to Johnny "Red" Kerr for the beloved Bulls announcer's retirement ceremony in February of 2009. Kerr, who died of cancer just 16 days later, cherished the moment.

"Back at the house, we had TiVo'd it and Dad was watching it smiling, watching the tribute from the president," said Johnny's son, Matt. "I said, 'Pretty cool,' and Dad looks at the TV and says, 'Thanks, O.'"

I didn't know there was such a thing as a "Cleveland Soccer Legend"
