Bull of the Day: Corie Blount

Not surprisingly, Corie Blount was more well-known for his blunts rather than his on the court play. In Chicago, we'd label him the OG Sam Herd.





Yeah...that's his drug sentencing video, or his most viewed on YouTube.

In the meantime, Corie contributed next to nothing on the court. He played 2 seasons for the Bulls before MJ came back and I'm sure told Krause to tell him to take a hike. Blount was your classic mediocre 1st round pick the Bulls were in love with in the 1990's, and was sold to the Lakers before the 95-96 season. He was part of a Nasty Natti team that made the Final Four, so he quickly rose to the ranks of overrated.

The Bulls COULD have had Nick Van Exel, Byron Russell, or even the comically inclined Gheorghe Muresan. But no, they took a player who averaged a robust 11 points and 8 rebounds per game for Cincy.

Blunt returned for 2 more seasons with the Bulls right around when the team was starting to escape the dark ages, but mostly for more money to buy weed.
