For some reason, I also felt the need to ask him some questions: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>What is the Bulls fascination with Luol Deng? He can't dribble. He can't shoot threes. He isn't overly athletic. He isn't a great rebounder. He is very overrated. All he can do is shoot mid range jumpers. We should have traded him while his stock was highest. The Bulls haven't had a star in so long it seems they have lost their memory on what a star player looks like. -- Syed Iftikhar, San Diego I wasn't hearing this last season. In fact, fans were routinely telling me they'd give up their Bulls tickets if they traded Deng. Perhaps he has been the most surprising one of all. He seemed like he "got it." He seemed given his tough background and obvious intelligence and work ethic that no matter what happened, at least he'd play harder to show everyone. <u>I believe he was devastated and confused by that contract refusal</u> and was the victim of bad advice. I think he rebounds well when he gets paid next summer.</div> That seems like a pretty strong statement of things, doesn't it?
