The carol of the Bulls

Rick Telander: I am really excited about the Chicago Bulls. I know old scribes like moi are supposed to be jaded and critical and cynical and nostalgic and mean to little kids. I am all those things. And yet these new Bulls fill me with holiday cheer. Here's what I like about them: With a basketball in his palm and defenders in front of him, Derrick Rose is the fastest player in the NBA. He's simply a Nike-busting blur.
