Boozer opposes the Jordan theory
The free agency period hasn’t started yet, but there sure is plenty of talk about it, especially for the Chicago Bulls. They have the funds to pursue and sign any of the big three free agents: Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and Lebron James.
Wade has been reported to question the loyalty of the Bull’s management. Joakim Noah and Lindsay Hunter have been quoted in the media saying Lebron should come to Chicago. Bosh has listed Chicago as one of his five destinations he would like to play for next year.
Then the Bulls fired Vinny Del Negro, so they’re in the market for a new man on the sideline. Avery Johnson, Byron Scott, Lawrence Frank, Jeff Van Gundy and Doug Collins are all ex-coaches looking for a job. ESPN has sources who say Phil Jackson has been contacted to return as the Bull’s Head Coach and University of Kentucky’s John Calipari has been in the news for the job as well.

To add a little more controversy around the Bulls is the legacy of arguably the best player to ever grace the NBA, Michael Jordan. It has been said players would not want to go to Chicago because they would be in the shadow of MJ. The Utah Jazz’s power forward, Carlos Boozer, who is going to be a free agent, doesn’t agree.
I like these statements from Boozer. Actually, it makes his resume go closer to the top of the pile as a free agent pick up.

He isn’t scared to play in the house Jordan built. He is showing pride in himself as a player. He realizes the 90′s Bulls were great, but why shouldn’t any other great players be a Bull?

The Celtics have won the most championships in the history of the NBA. This didn’t scare Ray Allen or Kevin Garnett going to Boston. The Lakers are the second winning-est franchise in history. This didn’t stop Shaquille O’Neal or Pau Gasol to moving to Los Angeles. This didn’t stop Paul Pierce or Kobe Bryant from signing extensions either.

If anything Jordan and Scottie Pippen created a winning atmosphere other players should love to play in. Sure, the Bulls fell off for about ten years, but this was because of former Bull’s general manager Jerry Krause causing problems with the stars and college players with tons of potential not panning out: Marcus Fizer, Jay Williams, Chris Duhon, Eddie Robinson and Tyrus Thomas.
