The Pistons and Chicago Bulls are facing off in Paris on Thursday night, though this journey — across six time zones for the Pistons, seven for the Bulls — is about much more than basketball. It’s been a midseason immersion into French cuisine, wine and culture, a bit of nightlife, a bit of fashion, even a bit of business.
Nikola Vucevic #9 of the Chicago Bulls celebrates with Ayo Dosunmu #12 against the Golden State Warriors during the second half at United Center on January 15, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois. Detroit guard Rodney McGruder had never experienced anything like this. He walked into the foyer of the Paris Opera House, then stopped and looked up to stare in silence at artwork dating back to the 19th century.Such was precisely the reaction that the Pistons wanted their players to have on this trip.
"These kids don’t have a chance to see us as much in person, so it’s great for them and great for us," Bulls center Nikola Vucevic said. "It means a lot to them and we try to give back as much as we can, spend the time when we can." "I think in general, whether it’s business or basketball, bringing families together is most important to us," Gores said as guests took in the sights of the art and sounds of the music. "For us as a culture, that’s what means the most."
