And what a fitting game it was for Johnson to attend as the Bulls came back to beat the Bucks, overcoming a 15-point halftime deficit and snapping their 11-game losing streak to win 120 to 97.

Johnson met with Bulls head coach Billy Donovan and watched the game with former Bulls small forward Scottie Pippen.

When Johnson appeared on the Jumbotron, he teased the crowd by pretending he was about to take off his shirt—a playful reference to the Bears’ postgame locker room celebration following their victory against the Philadelphia Eagles this past season.

Ben Johnson had us for a second 😭 @ChicagoBears

Williams, Crow-Armstrong, and Bedard are building a strong friendship while emerging as standout young stars in Chicago sports.

Blackhawks Connor Bedard talking about the bond he is building with Bears QB Caleb Williams, Cubs PCA and Bulls Matas Buzelis:

“We all take pride in Chicago sports, and we want to join everyone together.” 🔥
