Yup, Luol Deng is pretty cool

"Deng succeeded one of America's greatest-ever sportsmen, Michael Jordan, to become "the face" of the Chicago Bulls. He was one of the first sportsmen to be invited to the White House by President Obama, a huge Bulls fan. And last summer, he signed an improved six-year contract with the Bulls worth $71m (£43m) – compare that with Beckham's five-year starting salary at the LA Galaxy of $27m. Deng also received the United Nations Refugee Agency's humanitarian award – and Obama led the tributes."

Without a lot to pick from

Deng is the clear winner. Funny how they had little to say about his on court performance.

Reading that both Luol's brother and sister had basketball career ending injuries

does not make one hopeful for his durability. :(

Luol is already a winner as far as his paycheck goes.

We are all worried about it, but he held it together long enough to be set unlike his siblings.

Does that mean there might be a silver lining in a rainbow?
