The Whole Chicago Bulls Team Showed Up to Play 2K With a Local Mentorship Program

At the end of the day, this is what it’s all about.

What looks to be the entire Chicago Bulls roster recently surprised the CHAMPS Mentoring group in Chicago with a full-blown NBA 2K tournament. In a video shared by the Bulls Community page, everyone from Zach LaVine to Alex Caruso to Lonzo Ball to Ayo Dosunmu can be seen smiling and laughing with a large group of local kids.

The team also surprised everyone with a custom-made Bulls Nintendo Switch and a copy of NBA 2K23, which unsurprisingly drew a great reaction from those in attendance.

Check out the full video below:

As frustrating as this team’s start to the season has been, I’m always appreciative of moments like these putting things back in perspective. Major shoutout to every member of that team giving these kids a day they’ll never forget. Awesome stuff.

Also, if you’re interested, you can learn more about CHAMPS Mentoring and what they do in the community here.
