CHICAGO (AP) -James Johnson played point guard in high school and he’s aware that a legendary forward who helped the Chicago Bulls win six championships did the same thing.
No one needed to tell him about Scottie Pippen.
Taj Gibson doesn’t need a refresher, either.
The Bulls’ two draft picks have a good grasp of team history. They could hardly contain their excitement Monday when they saw their images on the scoreboard above the court where Michael Jordan and Pippen used to play.
Johnson is a 6-foot-9 forward from Wake Forest and the 16th pick in the draft. Gibson was taken with the 26th pick and the 6-foot-9 forward from Southern Cal got a few lessons from former Trojans coach Tim Floyd.
He says the two talked about the Bulls a lot.
