The Chicago Bulls may not win an NBA championship next year, but someone ought to give their social media team a trophy and a pay raise.
The Bulls just had one of the single greatest, most creative, fun, and entertaining schedule release videos we’ve ever seen, so no wonder why it didn’t take long to make the rounds all over the internet.
The clip features Benny the Bull as Ash Ketchum in the Pokémon video game saga, with Benny and some Bulls players — such as Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan — taking on multiple NBA stars.

Benny goes against Coach Popovich and Victor Wembanyama, then faces Adam Silver and beats Nikola Jokic and LeBron James with some hilarious animations, and then they show the full schedule.
The Bulls enter a make-or-break season in 2023-24.
The Arturas Karnisovas regime hasn’t fared much better than its predecessors, and they’ve given up plenty of draft picks to get pretty much nowhere.
Being a play-in team or a borderline playoff team is the absolute worst position any franchise could be, as you’re not good enough to compete, nor bad enough to get a top-lottery pick to turn the franchise around.
Some expect DeRozan — and even maybe LaVine — to be on the trade block next season if the Bulls get off to a slow start, which also seems quite likely after the way they played last season.
The team is long overdue for a rebuild, and they don’t seem to have a clear direction with the roster they have put together right now.
