Bulls fall to 76ers | Chicago Bulls
It's been something of the elephant in the room in the NBA, a potential stain, even an embarrassment, that no one wanted to acknowledge. This great league with this great history didn't have a JaKarr. Perhaps now it will. "If you go through enough ups and downs, I feel like everyone starts questioning," JaKarr Sampson was saying late Saturday night after his career-high 29 points wasn't quite enough in the Bulls 116-96 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. "But if you stick with it, I am proof the outcome can be good. We'll see what happens with it."
