CHICAGO — This was supposed to be an amazing weekend for the Chicago Bulls.
For the first time since 1988, the NBA All-Star Game is back in Chicago. This weekend was supposed to be a celebration of the city’s basketball tradition and an escape from the current reality of what Chicago Bulls basketball has become, even if it is only for a few days.
But All-Star Weekend 2020 has gone about as poorly as possible for the Chicago Bulls so far.
First, star player Zach LaVine found himself on the outside looking in for making his first All-Star team.
