Whoever runs the Twitter account for NBA on TNT must be a big fan of the movie Old School. They also believe that the "TNT Bulls" are dead. Friday morning, the Twitter page released a video edit of the scene in Old School where Will Ferrell's character Frank sings beautifully at the funeral of their late fraternity brother Blue.
In this edited version, the picture of Blue is replaced by the Bulls and TNT logos. Instead of Will Ferrell singing, it's a superimposed Charles Barkley. Seated among the funeral attendees, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith marvel at Chuck's angelic singing voice.
Take a look:
The rebuilding Bulls only have one nationally televised game this upcoming season, which will air on ESPN. If the Bulls - whose unusual winning streak of home games aired on TNT in recent years drew national headlines last season - don't play any TNT games this season, does that mean the #TNTBulls are dead? Or are they just hibernating until their next TNT game in 2018-19 or beyond? What do you think?
I vote for "just resting." They'll be back, and they'll continue to win. Heck, we need something to look forward to in these tough times, right?
