Coby White is on fire, and the basketball world is taking notice. In a historic achievement reminiscent of the great Michael Jordan, White has catapulted himself into Chicago Bulls lore by scoring over 35 points in three consecutive games. This electrifying run includes a game-high 37 points in Monday’s 129-119 victory over the Denver Nuggets, proving without a doubt that White's name deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as legends.
White's scoring prowess isn't the only thing that's been turning heads. Over the past ten games, he’s averaged 30.6 points, with a shooting efficiency that's hard to ignore: hitting 50.7 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from beyond the arc. His performance not only earned him back-to-back Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors, a feat not achieved by a Bull since Jordan, but also led Chicago to an impressive 8-2 run.

“Yeah, that was kind of crazy,” White remarked on the chants that broke out in Denver. His humility shines as bright as his play, acknowledging the hard work behind his success while staying grounded about the future.
“He’s evolved into a great player, all the way around,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan commented following the game.
The journey back home presents an exciting match-up against the Los Angeles Lakers, and fans eagerly anticipate whether White can continue his scorching performance. Bulls enthusiasts have much to celebrate, witnessing a young star's rise, drawing parallels to the golden era of Jordan.
