2. Dwyane Wade is a Chicago Bull and Monday didn’t make any more real

“At guard … from Chicago … 6’4″ … Dwyane Wade!”

No, seriously. That actually happened on Monday night.

Now, before you flood the comments section with “He’s from Robbins, IL! Not Chicago!”, let’s be honest here: If you live in suburb that’s basically right next to Chicago, you’re from Chicago.

Regardless, it’s pretty cool (yet, really odd) to see Wade as a member of his “hometown team”. He was the first Bull announced in the starting lineup introductions, and Jimmy Butler was announced in the all-important last slot.

What’s even cooler: Wade hit two three-pointers in the first quarter of Monday’s game and hit another from 30+ feet that came after a whistle blew a play dead.

The Bulls might actually make some outside shots this season. Maybe.
