Bull of the Day: Eric Piatkowski

Though he never got big-time minutes in his two seasons with the Chicago Bulls, Eric Piatkowski played a decent role for the 04-05 playoff team and managed to shoot over 40% from three.

I'll best remember him from his years as a mediocre 2 for the Clippers, and also from him somehow stealing minutes from Ben Gordon during his rookie season (where he absolutely lit it up off the bench).

As much as then-coach Scott Skiles hated rookies, he finally came to his senses and cut "Pike's" playing time in half. In fact he only took 2 shots in the playoffs, and then struggled mightily in the next season, playing less than 30 games.

Pike then went to the Suns for a few stints, where he chucked a lot, and even made some too. Sadly, Pike had to retire.

Believe it or not, someone even made a Pike wallpaper. Now, it anyone ACTUALLY  has had/currently as this as their wallpaper, please let me know.







WTF and a YouTube video?!?!?
