With players like Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball in the team, it is the veteran DeMar DeRozan who seems to be leading the newly-shaped Chicago Bulls in the NBA 2021-22 Season. There is no denying that the arrival of the 32-years-old has brought great energy into the Windy City and it finally seems like Chicago Bulls could a championship calibre team. In the process, he broke a record set by Michael Jordan. 

DeMar DeRozan was once again busy getting buckets on Sunday night at home against the New York Knicks. The four-time All-Star led the way once again for his new team which has now put him at the top of the franchise record books as the player with most points in his first 16 games in Chicago with 425, to surpass Michael Jordan’s 424 which he did back in his rookie season in 1984-1985.
