Nikola Mirotic was taken 23^rd Overall by Houston in 2011, but he was traded twice that day to become a Chicago Bull, although that would not happen for years.

Arriving as part of a blockbuster trade that sent Jimmy Butler to Minnesota, Zack LaVine became a scoring star in Chicago, though many basketball pundits believed that would transpire.

The Chicago Bulls had the first overall pick in the NBA Draft, and they took Elton Brand, the Duke sophomore who was named the ACC Player of the Year and National College Player of the Year.

The Baseball Hall of Fame announced today that Al Michaels, will be the 2021 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award.

The Award is given annually and decided on by a panel of 12 living Ford Frick winners and three broadcast historians.  Michaels becomes the 45^thperson to earn this honor.
