Recently, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddy made history when he recorded his 29th triple double as a member of the team, surpassing the legendary Michael Jordan on the all-time list for this category. The impressive feat comes amid a difficult season for the Bulls, which continued with losses against the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers last week.

One person who wasn’t a fan of the Bulls’ social media team posting giddy climbs behind Jordan was franchise icon Ron Harper, who was Jordan’s teammate on several championship runs in Chicago during the 1990s.

“Please stop posting stupid things!!!!!” “X,” Harper, formerly of the Bulls, wrote in the comments section on Twitter.

“Games today are BS and things are posted that make no sense (expletive) You’re just fooling yourself with these stats on bad teams,” he said.

In fact, some have pointed out that factors such as the increased speed of basketball, as well as the increased prevalence of the three-point shot, have led to increased statistics in today’s game compared to previous generations.

Others have accused Giddy of being an “empty calorie” player who can put up impressive statistics on a bad team, but cannot be a true number one option on a contender.

Still, it’s an impressive accomplishment for the former lottery pick, who is nearing the end of his second season in the Windy City after being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder ahead of the 2024-25 season. Giddy and Matas Buzelis have formed an interesting young duo for the Bulls over the past two years, and Chicago will hopefully be able to add another talented young duo to the mix in June if the lottery balls go their way.

The Chicago Bulls fell to the defending champion OKC Thunder 116-108 on Tuesday. Josh Giddy, playing against his former teammate, got injured.

Giddy twisted his ankle in the third quarter and had to leave the game. However, he came back and finished with a double-double with 14 points and 10 assists. He was one rebound shy of a triple-double.

Additionally, Giddy managed to pass Derrick Rose for 5th on the double-double list for the Chicago Guards with 51.

After Giddy was out for a while, Matas Buzelis stepped on a player’s foot and rolled his ankle. Ultimately, he was taken back to the locker room and did not play the rest of the game. Later, head coach Billy Donovan confirmed that both Giddy and Bouzelis had sprained ankles.

Also, both will be evaluated on Wednesday.

However, according to Casey Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Giddy offered a glimmer of hope that he will return.

“It doesn’t look too bad,” said Giddy.

As a result of the loss, the Bulls are 25–37 and have lost 15 of their last 17 games. The Bulls begin a five-game road trip against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. After this they will play four matches in California.

They will play against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. Then, Chicago plays the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. After that, they will play the LA Lakers on Thursday and the LA Clippers on Friday.

Giddy is averaging 17.7 points, 8.4 assists and 8.2 rebounds per game. Overall, he has played 41 games this year. Recently, Giddy was out due to a left hamstring injury.
