Watching Bulls games will not be the same without either of these great guys. They were the face of the Chicago Bulls. Norm Van Liers nickname was "stormin Norm" and last night in Chicago, it was storming all night. They both had the most passion for basketball and the Bulls than anyone I know.

I know. It was weird, I was watching a tribute to Norm on CSN last night around 11, and then a Breaking News hit the screen saying Johnny Kerr passed away.

Glad the Bulls payed tribute to Kerr a couple weeks ago, I think it must have meant a lot to him.
