Someone sat right next to the Bulls bench and put a bunch of awesome videos on Reddit

A Philadelphia 76ers fan found himself in the most incredible position Thursday night. Through circumstance he got to sit next to the Bulls bench while his team hosted the visitors and used it as an opportunity to people watch, more than watch basketball.

The stories he collected were absolutely incredible, but here are two of the best.

The Sixers do something Jimmy Butler has never seen before

Within the first few minutes of the game, the Sixers ran a full-court press. Butler absolutely lost his mind and said, “What the fuck? They’re running a full-court press? I’ve never seen that shit in the NBA before. This is why they’re the fuckin Sixers.” He sprinkled one or two n-bombs in there too. It was an absolutely hilarious observation by him. I guess he won’t consider signing as a free agent with us anytime soon :(

Joakim Noah LOVES to mess with Kirk Hinrich

Alright, this is downright hilarious. When the game entered OT, the Bulls really started to pull away with it. For players near the end of the bench it was usually difficult for them to hear Thibs shouting for them to sub in. To help fix this, the players on the bench would shout down to the end and tell that player to check-in. Noah fucked with Hinrich at the end of the game, and lied THREE TIMES that coach called for him to check in. It was hilarious, Kirk fell for it every time. Below is a link to the video of Noah trying to apologize and Kirk having none of it.

Seriously, you need to read the rest of these stories on Reddit and check out this guy’s photos. They’re unbelievable.
