Bucks savagely troll Bulls with ticket promotion
The petty is strong with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The team is using a ticket promotion to savagely troll the hapless Chicago Bulls.
On the team’s website, fans can purchase a five-game mini-pack by choosing a “starting five” of players from across the league.
Every NBA team has a star player pictured … except … for … one. As first noticed by Reddit user swapmeetpete, the 2-7 Bulls are represented by their mascot, Benny the Bull.
According to the Bucks, the Bulls roster is so bad that their star player is @bennythebull (which is probably accurate) pic.twitter.com/eI0EnZOwIg

To be fair, after Jimmy Butler was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dwyane Wade moved on to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago is currently suffering from a lack of superstar talent as it looks to rebuild. Who are the Bucks supposed to put on their promotion?
And it’s not like Benny the Bull isn’t a certified superstar in his own right. He’s even headed to the Mascot Hall of Fame.
Benny seems to have taken things in stride, using the opportunity to take a shot of his own at Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball.
At least there’s one big baller on that list now… https://t.co/MY06MIvLks
