"With that arm, Lonzo Ball better have a Michael Jordan-like impact on the team": NBA Twitter reacts to the newest Bulls star throwing out the first pitch at the White Sox game

New Bulls star Lonzo Ball along with additional signings Alex Caruso, Tony Bradley Jr. and Derrick Jones Jr. threw out the first pitch before the Chicago White Sox game.

Even though the Bulls organisation is one of the best dynasties in league history, they are yet to reach the NBA Finals in 23 years. Over the last couple of years, the Chicago Bulls have been a lottery team at best, failing to advance to the playoffs since the 2016-2017 season.

However, in a busy yet successful offseason, the front office added quite incredible players like DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, Derrick Jones Jr. among others to help out Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. And to be fair, in recent history, this Bulls team never looked so good. For the first time in many years, Chicago actually has a legit shot at making a deep playoffs run.

Lonzo Ball really had a pretty good throw, compared to most of the other NBA throws we’ve seen this past summer. The throw was so fast that Southpaw, White Sox’s mascot, couldn’t even get hold of it.

Here, have a look at the eldest Ball brother’s pitch.

As soon as the clip of Lonzo’s pitch went viral, NBA Twitter went crazy.

Behind the new trio of LaVine, Ball and DeRozan, the Chicago franchise will really hope to have their best campaign in the past decade. Sure, this team is not exactly a championship threat to the Lakers or Nets, but definitely have the potential to make a deep playoffs run.
