The event of the Knicks victory has led to optimism from fans of the Chicago Bulls, which since the late 1990s have yet to see another Championship from the Chicago Bulls. 

Fans of the Chicago Bulls have commented on this, with hopes of a possible comeback for the Bulls reignited. Beiker Wilson, a first year student at Wright had this to comment, “Seeing the Knicks was a surprise, now I hope that the Bulls can do the same”

Aluieris Rios, another first year student said, “Knowing how long the Knicks have always been clowned on, and seeing them have an unexpected comeback shows that anything can happen. I now hope that the Bulls can bring back the legacy they once had in the 1980s” 

Rios also said, “I always supported the Chicago Bulls cuz Micheal Jordan played for them, and he inspired me into getting into basketball.”
