Olympic Gold Medalist Simone Biles Visits Bulls Practice


Simone Biles is the best women’s gymnast in the world. She proved that at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Maybe her amazingness can rub off on the Chicago Bulls?
The United States Women’s Gynmastics team was the talk of the 2016 Rio Olympics this past summer, thanks in large part to the inhuman performances from Simone Biles.
For those that don’t know, Biles won five total Olympic medals this summer (four gold medals) as a part of one of — if not — the greatest gymnastics performance by the United States as a women’s team in history. They were remarkable from start to finish down in Rio.
Biles is in town for her performance in the Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions on Thursday night, but before she dazzles thousands in attendance at the United Center, she made a stop at the Advocate Center on Wednesday to hang out with the Chicago Bulls.

She even gave us the greatest piece of photography ever by taking a picture with backup Bulls center Cristiano Felicio.

Note: By the way, it is absolutely absurd how big basketball players are.
Biles took pictures with just about everybody on Wednesday, including Robin Lopez in one of the best jerseys in baseball; the teal Seattle Mariners alternate jersey.

She even took a picture with Bulls head coach Gar Forman and general manager Gar Forman during her time with the Bulls. (If Forman signed her to a one-year deal, I don’t think many would be opposed to that. She’s a ridiculous athlete.)

Biles and Co. will perform on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. CT at the United Center along with Laurie Hernandez, Gabby Douglas, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman; her four teammates down in Rio as the “Final Five”.
After that, she might become the starting point guard for the new Windy City Bulls.
Or, at least we hope she does.
