"I always look at the bench," said Perkins, an NBA insider for Radio.com Sports. "I look at the camaraderie. I look to see if guys actually enjoy playing with one another. And I don't think it's necessarily that the guys don't like playing with each other. I think it's just that the guys, they're going out there and playing hard, but they're not having fun. And when you see a team playing hard but guys are not having fun, I don't see jumping up and down from the bench, I don't see guys chest-bumping or nothing to that nature, to me, it falls back on the coach. Because him running that high school-type, building that high school-type atmosphere, culture, the guys are not having fun. I know it's a job and we get paid millions of dollars to play the game of basketball and you're supposed to take it serious, but at the end of the day, you're also supposed to enjoy this. You're supposed to love this. You go out there and you're supposed to have fun."
i see the exact same bench celebrations on every nba team including the Bulls. And payers on the bench didnt begin to celebrate this way until the late 2000's (i think). I want to say it started around the time of lebrons first stint with the cavs. Either way the Bulls stink and watching the game tells me more then watching the bench does.
