On Monday afternoon, Zach LaVine sat down with the media to talk about the Chicago Bulls 2020-21 shortcomings and the future of the organization. Coby White didn’t care.
In the middle of what certainly felt like a very serious discussion, White let out a blood-curling scream off-camera in what appeared to be an attempt to startle his teammate. I truly feel bad for any media members who had their headphones in.

The lack of any immediate reaction from LaVine is hilarious, but the ticked-off “COBY!” that comes from someone else in the room might honestly be the best part. You can just tell everyone has been dealing with Coby pulling this crap all season.
Considering the circumstances around how this season ended, none of these press conferences have the most joyous vibe. And, with that in mind, it’s not hard to picture everyone walking around the Advocate Center with a giant storm cloud floating above their head. However, little moments like this help remind us it’s just a game. LaVine may poke fun at White for being an “annoying little brother” but that kind of energy keeps things light. Also, it helps remind us that the Bulls do seem to have a group of guys that genuinely enjoy being around each other. You love to see it.
