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.
