Lakers Didn’t Win It, but Season Shouldn’t Be Called a Total Loss
Reasons to live:
1) The Bulls have to go back to Chicago.
2) Chicagoans will rise to the occasion as well as they did the last time they had an event of any national significance, the 1968 Democratic convention.
3) The Chicago City Council’s last response to art, Harold Washington’s portrait, was to rip it out of the museum. You may depend on them to eventually treat the Bulls the same way.
4) They’re going to have to listen to Spike Lee crow all summer. Legend and Dynasty and Shoes will be mentioned until even they are sick of it.
5) It will never, ever happen again. Never.
6) They still have to live in Chicago, the city of broad shoulders and narrow minds.
