No way you're not aware of that happening? That's the stuff of Bulls legend!

Isn't "Senior Advisor of Basketball Operations" also Doug Collins title? Will they share an office? Secretary?

1. Why is Joe Cowley not a verified blue check?

1. Cowley not being verified is kind of fitting

Can't believe people still say this about Cowley when he's almost always right and post the truth 9 times outta 10

I gotta agree with this. And I find it odd that a Sun-Times reporter is not verified on Twitter.

Maybe it's some personal protest he's doing against the elitist blue checks

Yeah, but are you talking about when he punched Will Perdue or when he punched Steve Kerr?

“1” had nothing to do with my opinion on the veracity of his reports, more his consistent “anonymous”, “unverified”, “source close to the Bulls” ......

Cowley isn't verified because his personal Twitter account was dormant for years because he was banned from using it.

Congrats guys, on to a new era.

The NBA isn't the same without a good Chicago franchise.

that doesn't mean you have the right to put your hands on someone at work.

No one is saying that what he did was ok. Just that it doesn't really say much about what kind of a job he did as a GM. As I pointed out earlier, MJ once slugged Steve Kerr because he didn't make the right play in a practice. That was unacceptable as well. But no one every brings that up as a reason to judge MJ as a basketball player (unless it is to highlight how competitive he was, which can also be said of Paxson).

Stop with the redirect. The poster just before him said he deserved it.

saying that someone deserved to be choked is NOT the same as saying that it was appropriate to choke him

and nobody was choked, folks. from what i've read, pax basically grabbed him by the necktie and jabbed his finger in his chest

How many advisors do the bulls need? Lol. From the guys I know Pippen, Kukoc, Collins and now Paxson are all advisors. That’s a whole lot “advising” or getting a pay check to do basically nothing. That’s the best job for Pax, no responsibilities and no stress.

I think Pippen got fired a couple months back
