It’s an early-season Chicago Bulls episode featuring a few staples of their young core: Ayo Dosunmu, Matas Buzelis, and Josh Giddey. The trio dives into so much, giving a true inside look into the start of their season, including their hot start, why they love the chemistry in their locker room, and their goals for the season. They also get into some of their basketball origins and careers, including what it means for Ayo and Matas to be from the Chicago area playing and for the Bulls, Ayo’s career at Illinois and Matas’ at G-League Ignite, and what Josh takes with him from the beginning of his career on the Oklahoma City Thunder. They also have high-level basketball conversations about teaching vs. inheriting toughness, adapting to your role in the NBA, what it takes to be a winning player, and much more.
