Episode Notes

Welcome to part two of episode 17 of the Two Brits, One Orange Ball podcast with Bulls Insider for NBC Sports Chicago, K.C. Johnson.

In this second part of the episode, we’ll cover Derrick Rose’s tenure with the Chicago Bulls, including going into detail about what it was like to cover his many injuries and the split of public opinion about whether he should play or not after being out for nearly a year having torn his ACL in the 2012 playoff match-up against the Sixers.

We’ll cover Jimmy Butler’s fall out with the Chicago Bulls, Luol Deng and what he meant to the Bulls organisation - as well as going deeper into K.C.’s London 2012 experience where he met the late Jimmy Rogers after turning up at Brixton Rec.

And finally, we’ll speak with K.C. about covering the second Bulls three peat and how reporting on the ground at the time differed from what we were shown in the Last Dance documentary.

So let’s dive back in to part two.
