The start of a new day

October 31st, 2006 | Posted by PostmanE

The post directly below this is a nice segue here; we can jaunt quickly from the anxiety and depression of the morning to the optimism and, dare I say, joy of the late afternoon. Joy? Yes, joy: the NBA is back.

In honor of the return of the Chicago Bulls tonight, I dreamt a post about Michael Jordan, the unabated hero of my youth, complete with a brief description and a Youtube video of the man destroying all things in his path.

But R already hit you with some vintage goodies, so I’ll opt instead for a forward-thinking model. Here’s a brief clip of the most recent Bulls introduction I could find, complete with decade-old arena scoreboard presentation and classic theme song. I don’t care you who are: if you don’t get goosebumps watching this, you either hate the Bulls, have no love for the NBA, or don’t own a soul. Or, more likely, all three.

Actually, you know what? Why not have an old-school video? Past-meets-present - here’s hoping that’s a theme of the 2006-07 Chicago Bulls.

Come on…excited yet?
