Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2013 Sports Business Awards on Wednesday. “Those of us in team sports are very lucky,” said Reinsdorf. “Not only because we don’t have real jobs, but because we’re able to bring joy to so many people and because we can make the world a better place.”

Bulls Head Athletic Trainer Fred Tedeschi has been named the recipient of the 2012-2013 Joe O’Toole NBA Athletic Trainer of the Year. “Fred is very deserving of this award,” said GM Gar Forman of Tedeschi. “He’s been a valuable member of our team for many years and his excellent work is appreciated by our players and everyone in the organization.”

Sam Smith: It is possible given consensus top pick Nerlens Noel from Kentucky is not nearly last year’s first selection, Anthony Davis, someone might want to make a deal for a future look if a team farther down likes him a lot. The larger question may be who can use this draft to make a move.

Team President & COO Michael Reinsdorf talks with Bulls.com and BullsTV about the undermanned Bulls making the most of the 2012-13 season, standing behind Luol Deng and Derrick Rose, and why he believes the team is in good hands with John Paxson and Gar Forman in charge of player personnel.

Playing short-handed throughout the playoffs, the Bulls outlasted the Nets by taking Game 7 in the first round, then opened the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a win over the defending champion Heat. But Miami won the next four, putting an end to Chicago's season. Playoff Central | @ChicagoBulls | Facebook | Mobile Alerts | mybulls | BullsConnect
