For decades, Michael Jordan’s name has been synonymous with Chicago Bulls greatness. But in a stunning twist, Coby White has just achieved something even His Airness never did—leaving fans and analysts in absolute disbelief.
During the Bulls’ recent 129-119 victory over the Denver Nuggets, White exploded for 37 points, marking his third consecutive game with 35 or more points. That feat alone is remarkable, but what makes it truly historic is that no other Bulls player—not even Jordan—has ever accomplished it in such a short span. This puts White in an exclusive club, proving he’s more than just a role player; he’s becoming the backbone of the Bulls’ offense.
Breaking Barriers and Defying Expectations
Coby White’s rise to stardom has been anything but predictable. Drafted seventh overall in 2019, White initially faced doubts about his ability to become a consistent scorer and playmaker. However, this season, he’s been on an absolute tear, silencing critics and turning into one of Chicago’s most reliable weapons. His blend of speed, shooting, and confidence has transformed him from a secondary option into a legitimate star.
Even Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has been vocal about White’s transformation. “His work ethic, his commitment to improving—it’s all paying off right now. What we’re seeing isn’t a fluke. Coby has put in the work, and now he’s reaping the rewards.”
How Does This Compare to Jordan’s Era?
It’s important to clarify that Jordan’s greatness transcended individual scoring streaks. He dominated in an era where defenses were far more physical, and he had a complete game that extended beyond just scoring. However, the fact that White has managed to etch his name in Bulls history, in a way even Jordan didn’t, is a testament to his growth and potential.
Fans have taken notice, with many taking to social media to express their amazement. One Bulls supporter tweeted, “Coby White is playing out of his mind right now! Who would’ve thought he’d be the guy carrying this team?!” Another added, “We knew he was good, but this? This is next level.”
What’s Next for White and the Bulls?
With the Bulls fighting for playoff positioning, Coby White’s scorching hot form couldn’t have come at a better time. If he continues at this pace, Chicago could find itself as a serious contender in the Eastern Conference. More importantly, White’s surge raises a bigger question: Is he the future face of the franchise?
While comparisons to Jordan are inevitable (and somewhat unfair), one thing is clear—Coby White has stepped into the spotlight in a way no one saw coming. And if he keeps this up, we might just be witnessing the birth of a new Bulls legend.
