Chicago Bulls: Making the case for Thaddeus Young for MCM

Find a man who looks at you the way Chicago Bulls star Thaddeus Young looks at his wife, Shekinah Young.

Let’s take a look at what makes Chicago Bulls forward Thaddeus Young a good model for what women want and why women should name him their #ManCrushMonday.

If ever a Chicago Bulls star were deserving of a meme to be created in his honor, it is Young.

Why, you ask?

In a series of recent posts shared by way of Twitter, Young exemplifies everything women want.

First up is a look at Young as seen taking his kids to work.

In the video clip, Young is watching on as his kids shoot hoops. Like father, like sons–the post shows the Young family has some skill, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. It’s not uncommon for the children of professional athletes to follow in their parents’ footsteps. Not to mention it’s clear that basketball has a powerful way of bringing the Young family together. Every couple should have something that binds them together. For Young and his wife, it’s basketball.

Next up is a thread that shows Young taking his sons to school for the first day of classes.

The video contained in the thread shows Young walking as his kids trail closely behind him. Back to school is a big time of year for many students and their families. Taking the kids to school shows the extent to which Young is committed to leading by example both on and off the court. It’s a testament to Young and his perceived desire to be a good father and husband.

Lasting relationships are commonly rooted in strong foundations built off of shared values. In the case of the Young’s, it appears they both believe the construct of family means a lot.

In another Tweet, Young takes his wife sightseeing around Chicago.

The video provides a glimpse of the Chicago skyline as seen by Young and his wife. As evidenced by the tweet, it seems his wife had never previously visited Chicago, which makes the outing seem like a bit of a romantic gesture, especially considering Young will often be playing in the Windy City after signing with the Bulls in free agency earlier this summer.

It’s a big perceived change for the Young family. All relationships are tested in one way or another over time. The key is finding the right partner who makes being in love worth the journey, and the Youngs seem to have found that in one another.

In a recent tweet, Young took time to commemorate an anniversary that he and his wife share.

The post speaks for itself in a sense. Young is seen in the video clip sharing fond memories shared with his wife of seven years. It’s clear that true love is not tested by time so much that it ages, it’s commonly strengthened more than anything else.

In the words of Young as addressed to his wife, “We are still in the beginning.”
