After losing in the play-in tournament for the third time in as many years, the 2024-2025 NBA season came to an end for the Bulls last night. I made it to the United Center for the first time in a decade last November to see Zach Edey and the Memphis Grizzlies take on the Bulls. Unfortunately, Edey didn’t play, but the Grizzlies still managed to pull out the victory.

Despite the turn in weather, and the first snowfall of the season, I managed to stay above the 30,000-step plateau for the fifth week in a row. Things got off to a decent start on Sunday as we celebrated Danny’s birthday, which left me 34 steps away from 5000. Monday saw a big drop, going down to 3200 steps. A charging session on Tuesday helped push me back up to 5300 steps. Another drop on Wednesday put me 3 steps shy of 4000. Thursday was just a little worse, needing 8 additional steps to get to 3900. A slight increase on Friday left me just 6 steps short of 4200. Saturday was the high point of the week, thanks to a trip to the United Center to see the Bulls battle a Zach Edey-less Grizzlies team and leaving me just 17 steps shy of 6400..
Total steps: 31,986

With the ninth pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Zach Edey, the two-time National Player of the Year from Purdue. While this may have been a stretch according to many so-called draft experts, the Grizzlies were determined to get a center and they saw Edey as the best option on the board. We will have to wait and see how Edey’s game translates to today’s NBA.
