McNabb wants James on BullsAround Town Bio | E-mail | Recent columns Related Urlacher on LeBron: 'He would own Chicago' Fred Mitchell and David Kaplan 8:50 p.m. CDT, May 20, 2010 E-mail Print Share Text Size
Donovan McNabb is rooting for LeBron James to join the Bulls this summer.
Before participating in the taping of ESPN "Homecoming with Rick Reilly" on Thursday night, McNabb talked to the Tribune about his passion for basketball.
"Being a major Bulls fan, (signing James) would mean a lot to me, as well as my team," said McNabb, now a member of the Redskins.
McNabb starred in basketball and football at Mount Carmel High School. He also was a member of the Syracuse basketball team for three years.

"When you have a backcourt of Derrick Rose and LeBron, and a young nucleus of (Joakim) Noah and Luol Deng … it would be big," he said.
More than 1,700 people came to Mount Carmel the taping of the show scheduled to air in the fall.
Sights seen: Sharks players Joe Thornton, Ryane Clowe, Jed Ortmeyer, Brad Staubitz, Jay Leach and Dan Boyle enjoyed sushi, tacos and shaki tuna at Hub51 Wednesday night.
Local attractions: The Sky's home-opener Saturday (7 p.m.) at Allstate Arena will include a "house warming party" at 4 p.m. in the arena parking lot. A rock climbing wall, inflatable obstacle course, face painters and balloon makers will be available for kids, along with free food and drink.

Donovan McNabb is one of the few Chicago super stars that honors his hometown with his support and charitable contributions. Bravo for McNabb. And for Rose, Deng and Tyrus Thomas, also charitable toward Chicago.
Is GarPax charitable toward Chicago? They should pay Chicagoans damages for what they have done over the last decade.

Guess McNabb doesn't follow basketball all that closely - Jerry Krause has been out of a job with the Bulls for some time now...
