Bobby Portis, big eyes and an even bigger heart, used to joke when he was struggling for two years to even make it into the Bulls rotation, still taking a G-league tour in his second season with the Bulls, about having t-shirts and signs made that read, "Free Bobby Portis."

But no one practiced like Bobby did, made the gym his home, his home the stopover on the way back to the gym. So late Saturday night after Portis came off the bench for 10 points and 12 rebounds in his Washington Wizards 134-125 victory over no longer his Bulls, he was asked about the slogan.
