Urlacher on LeBron: 'He would own Chicago'
By Vaughn McClure
Maybe the Bulls should consider adding Brian Urlacher as a consultant to help lure LeBron James.
The Bears linebacker is one of many hoping the Cavaliers star leaves the comfort of home for the bright lights of Chicago.
"He would own Chicago. That's all there is to it," Urlacher said of James. "I would love for him to come here. I would be at a lot of Bulls games, I'll tell you that much.
"Obviously, he is the best player in the NBA. He is right there with Kobe. I'm a Kobe guy, too, but LeBron's the man. He's the biggest free agent in any sport of all time. No doubt about it."
Urlacher dined at Gibsons along with James, actor Jeremy Piven and others the night before Game 4 of the Bulls-Cavs playoff series.
"He's a good dude," Urlacher said. "I didn't talk to him much, but he's a good guy.
"Everybody always compares him to Michael. What better way to show you're better than Michael Jordan than to come win championships where Michael won championships? I'm not saying he's better than Michael at all, but he has a chance to come prove it to Michael's fans.''
Meanwhile, rumors of "King James" shopping for a home in Highland Park are not true, a source close to James told the Tribune. The source said James was not even in town.
