The No Bull Tour's final show was at Sydney's Darling Harbour Theatre last night. A tremendous event and a packed house. I had high hopes and can unequivocally state they were well and truly surpassed. Funny, heartfelt and informative, even as a diehard Bulls fan since 1989. 👏

The All-Star Game is broken. Stats are largely irrelevant. No defense or intensity. The competitive nature of the players once made it exciting. A combined 133 three-pointers attempted today (vs. 48 in 1998 - via @bball_ref ). Can the ASG be salvaged?
