Bulls, Jazz players attend Chelsea vs. Liverpool

By J.E. Skeets

In London for their preseason exhibition game, members of the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz attended the Chelsea FC versus Liverpool FC match on Sunday. Derrick Rose(notes), Mehmet Okur(notes), Andrei Kirilenko(notes), Deron Williams(notes) and Kyle Korver(notes) watched the action from the sidelines during Chelsea's 2-0 victory. Apparently, AK's favorite team is Chelsea so he was especially excited by the footy.

Also exciting: Okur's beard.

Cheers, Chelsea FC.

    Not to be annoying... but are we chatting today? Is Mr. Dwyer feeling ok? Did he eat too much Chick-fil-A?

    Roger, what are you blabbing about up there? Do you have a clever and/or insightful comment on the cover story, or not?

    Did Liverpool try to sign Kyle Korver thinking he was Andre Arshavin's twin brother?

    Chelski blows. Liverpuddle sucks. Arshavin plays for the Arsenal.

    haha # 8.
    If all the AMERICAN (take note that i said AMERICAN) NBA players had grown up playing soccer, what would our national team look like? My Guess:
    Keeper - Rajon Rondo (Quickest hands in the league)
    Defense:
    RB - Kirk Hinrich (you know he'd lock down)
    CBs - Kevin Garnett and Dwight Howard (win every header and would blow up everyone coming thru)
    LB - Baron Davis (when motivated, at least)
    Midfield:
    CDM - Ron Artest (assuming he will actually give up the ball, he'd be a pit bull in the center)
    RM - Kobe Bryant (That long range touch will come in handy when he's whipping in crosses; so will those ball skills)
    LM - Dwyane Wade (Blow by everyone with a good arsenal of moves)
    CAM - Chris Paul (Amazing vision and perfect passing)
    Attacking:
    LF - Carmelo Anthony (lots of ways to score, mixes athleticism with skill, unguardable with his strength)
    RF - Lebron James (The best athlete in the league; he'll win everything, in the air, on the ground, thru ball, whatever; plus he passes)
    No one could ever mess on that line up

    Now if you want to see some REALLY FOXY-LOOKING chicks with Andrei Kirilenko and Mehmet Okur, they should have their WIVES out front!!!!! Masha K. is a gorgeous Russian rockstar. Okur's main squeeze is a former Miss Turkey who was a runner-up in the Miss Universe pageant.

    i attended one of these matches in spain and man was i surprised. it was chaos in the stands. beer was getting spilt, liquor was getting passed around. and the cheers. they're more like songs. i can't even begin how to describe the power of 20,000 people singing one song at the same time. it's spine tingling. and after each cheer, everyone chugs their drinks, whatever they were holding. they're really passionate about their football, err soccer.
