THE CHICAGO BULLS EPISODE | Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, and Ayo Dosunmu
It’s an early-season Chicago Bulls episode featuring a few staples of their young core: Ayo Dosunmu, Matas Buzelis, and Josh Giddey. The trio dives into so much, giving a true inside look into the start of their season, including their hot start, why they love the chemistry in their locker room, and their goals for the season.
They also get into some of their basketball origins and careers, including what it means for Ayo and Matas to be from the Chicago area playing and for the Bulls, Ayo’s career at Illinois and Matas’ at G-League Ignite, and what Josh takes with him from the beginning of his career on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
They also have high-level basketball conversations about teaching vs. inheriting toughness, adapting to your role in the NBA, what it takes to be a winning player, and much more. Let’s go!

I was expecting Matas to have a euro accent 😂
JOSHHHHH OKC MISS U BUDDY I KNOW YOU READING STOP SMILING N COME BACK

Giddey ankle good?
Excited to watch but horrific timing lmao
THE GIDDLER

ayo gonna be a great vet one day
Nah this is horrible timing
Run GMC
Love the young core here on the Bulls, hoping all 3 of these guys take some steps and grow together, there is potential here but it depends on how they develop. Coby as well though he is already closer to his final form.
Lets gooo happy to see how these young bulls do this season! But lets win a game yeah? Weve been losin alot
Lets gooo. The future of the Chicago Bulls
We need a Houston Rockets episode.
early cant wait to see if giddey and coby come back against utah
Ayo's gonna be a good player for a LONG time, guaranteed
It's so nice to have a timestamp
What's wrong with the timing? One day or another, whatever. What's wrong- reaction. Few, indeed few, wins and 24/7 fest starts, if losses arrives, even streaks, and all of a sudden that fest not just stops, but collapses instead. One would expect analysis, all good with it, but a lot of experts either in heaven, or hell. True analysis is just an island in feeeeeeeeeeeelings world
I love that Josh has somehow picked up a distinct southern accent on several words.
this is going to be a great listen.
these guys a couple years away from being elite just need to move off of Vuc
Baby Bulls 2.0. Or is it 3.0?
Chicago we’re on the way
Where the heck is Kenny for this interview
Ayo is an incredible basketball mind. Wasn't expecting that tbh – dude will have a tremendous secondary career in coaching.
Love this but bro we need close games better we could of easily won 2-3 of the 4 we lost
Matas is that dude. Love him
Happy dayz legends, great start. Keep it up ❤️🦋🤙🏾🏀. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi yeeeeeew giddey up 💪🏾🏀🤘🏽
As a thunder fan, I’ll always root for Josh and I hope he becomes an all-star this year, will definitely be rooting for him and the bulls this year!
Bulls are showing growth and maturity. Winning streaks and losing streaks will happen this year. They are called growing pains…but the endgame is what matters. Like how they think and speak.
I can’t believe how Brody got crossed up. SMH. Get well soon
