T-Boogie recently put up a post breaking down the current roster with various awards. This led me to ask, what awards matter the most? Then, moving beyond the concept of awards, I realized that really, the only thing that matters is what one person thinks--the Chairman. I've ranked pretty much every significant Bull according to the following categories of Chairman Reinsdorf's Opinion (feel free to add or edit):
Category I: Most likely to be adopted as son:
1. John Paxson
2. Kirk Hinrich
3. Pete Myers
4. Doug Collins
5. Steve Schanwald
6. Gar Forman
Category II: Always welcome as a houseguest at the Reinsdorf estate:
1. Luol Deng
2. Derrick Rose
3. Brad Miller
4. Andres Nocioni
5. Jerry Krause
6. Toni Kukoc
Category III: "What's your name again? Yeah, can you get me a glass of water from the kitchen?"
1. Ben Gordon
2. Tim Thomas
3. Tyrus Thomas
4. Joakim Noah
5. John Salmons
6. Kendall Gill
Category IV: "What, you're still here? What can I do for you (to make you go away)?"
1. Norm Van Lier
2. Scott Skiles
3. Horace Grant
4. Phil Jackson
5. PJ Brown
6. BJ Armstrong
7. Elton Brand
8. Tyson Chandler
9. Eddie Curry
10. Adrian Griffin
Category V: "Security... ? Someone call security!"
1. Larry Hughes
2. Lonny Baxter
3. Ron Artest
4. Dennis Rodman
5. Ben Wallace
Category VI: "Sorry, son, but I don't know you. You know what, ...can someone get me security?"
1. Ron Mercer
2. Viktor Khryapa
3. Marcus Fizer
4. Eddy Robinson
Category VII: "The public loves you, and therefore I am obligated to publicly show my lukewarm appreciation for you, as well."
1. Greatest of all time
2. Scottie Pippen
3. Jerry Sloan
4. Bill Cartwright
5. Chet Walker
6. Artis Gilmore
7. Steve Kerr

Saw the title of the Fan Post and expected this to be a summary of sue's posts
We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look.

Heh, thanks, snley. Now that you mention it,
I do seem to recall Sue posting something along the lines of “what matters is what Reinsdorf thinks” (Sue, please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong).
I’ve changed the heading…
"It’d be ridiculous to hate someone for simply what they say in a sports blog. But I greatly dislike every syllable of your angst-filled, smarmy, nondescript, half-assed, elitist-garbage responses." –Rogerspark Kris

Actually, that was more a shot at how sue uses "it doesn't matter what we think" as a cop out for any argument during which she's been proven wrong

Ha
well done. I think Category III is my favorite…

well done...
…though I think Norm should be placed in the last category.

What category would Red have belonged to?
That Steve Nash is exactly the same as Kirk Hinrich, but worse.

I'm thinking Category II... your thoughts?

yeah, maybe
Red always spoke fondly of Reinsdorf. I don’t know how he spoke of Red, though.
"Remember, I'm Italian".

Actually, there could be a separate category for Red.
That’s partially why I left him off. He’s sort of the grandfather of the Bulls franchise.

The Pre-Reinsdorfian Period? :)
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
