During a recent game, the Chicago Bulls experienced a moment that encapsulated their struggles throughout the season. A botched breakaway dunk attempt by Torrey Craig, which involved a failed self alley-oop, led to an injury of teammate Andre Drummond. This sequence of events, described as one of the worst plays in Bulls history and the funniest NBA moment of the year, was highlighted as a low point for the team, drawing widespread attention and criticism. The incident was seen as a reflection of the team's overall mediocre performance and lack of attention to detail, contributing to their sixth losing season in seven years. Bulls coach Billy Donovan reportedly called Kentucky's AD at halftime in frustration. The play was met with comments from Bulls player Coby White, who mentioned the team did 'some really dumb stuff' in their loss to the Knicks, and Torrey Craig himself attempted to explain his actions by stating he wanted to create some excitement.

What should have been a routine two points Tuesday turned into an explicit example of the Bulls' alarming lack of attention to detail. Their "all-oops" also assured Chicago its sixth losing season in seven years. ✍️ @DarnellMayberry More: https://t.co/vQ9IVLuvGo https://t.co/ZGNSoZWzDA

That #Bulls sequence — a botched breakaway dunk followed by an Andre Drummond injury at the other end — was a microcosm of the team’s season and absurd enough for Billy Donovan to call Kentucky’s AD at halftime to save him from this mediocre silliness. Yikes.
