A Chicago Bulls staple was called out by WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion superstar Becky Lynch this weekend.

Bulls shooting guard Coby White has enjoyed an active few days.
On Saturday night, he joined fellow current Bulls Ayo Dosunmu, Patrick Williams, Matas Buzelis and Dalen Terry — plus former All-NBA Chicago center Joakim Noah — to fete head coach Billy Donovan for his inauguration into the 2025 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
“I mean this is an amazing accomplishment, being in the Hall of Fame… only happens once,” White told CHSN. “He gets his players to compete every night. He builds relationships with his players.”
Donovan likely earned the nod more for his superlative run guiding the Florida Gators for two decades (highlighted by his two NCAA titles, won with Noah and fellow future NBA All-Star big man Al Horford), than for anything he’s done in the NBA. He has won one playoff series during his decade in the league, and has gotten Chicago into the playoffs exactly once in five years.
But we digress.
White kicked off his weekend on Friday, when he sat ringside for a “WWE SmackDown” live event at AllState Arena in Rosemont, a Chicago suburb.
As noted by CHGO Bulls podcast personality Big Dave, Lynch made verbal mincemeat of White.
“You suck so bad they’re trading your ass!” 👀😆🫠

“I wouldn’t expect you to know what greatness looks like. All your teams suck,” Lynch said. “The Blackhawks suck. The Cubs suck. The White Sox suck. The Bulls suck. And you suck. You suck so bad they’re trading your ass,” Lynch told White, who was seated ringside.
It’s worth making a quick note here that the Cubs currently boast an 81-62 record in the National League’s Central Division. Although they trail the 89-55 Milwaukee Brewers, the Cubs’ stellar record to this point makes them the frontrunner for a wildcard spot in the National League.

You’ll get no argument from us on the 55-89 White Sox, the Blackhawks (who haven’t made the playoffs since 2020) or the Bulls (who have made the playoffs just once since 2017).

It should be noted, however, that White certainly does not “suck.”
The 25-year-old out of North Carolina had the makings of a fringe All-Star last season for the 39-43 Bulls.
In 74 healthy games, White notched averages of 20.4 points while slashing .453/.370/.902 4.5 dimes, 3.7 boards and 0.9 swipes per. The 6-foot-5 guard is on an expiring $12.9 million contract, and should he stay healthy, is primed to fetch a massive raise in free agency next summer.
