Chicago Bulls: 5 best 2016-17 Cristiano Felicio moments

Clean up on aisle six

Sometimes, one has to help a teammate out. That’s exactly what Felicio did on Jan. 9 in a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Doug McDermott could not quite get his jumper to land (or get a foul called) so along came the Brazilian.

A circus shot, sure, but effective nevertheless. He took that contact like a champ.

Chicago lost 109-94, after Russell Westbrook finished the game with 21 points, nine rebounds and a whopping 14 assists. Ironically, the Bulls would go on to trade McDermott (along with Taj Gibson) to the Thunder.

But still, what a put-back this was.

Felicio had a pretty decent game overall, too. He was the team’s third-leading scorer (after Wade and Michael Carter-Williams) with 11 points, while also grabbing 11 rebounds — the most for Chicago that evening.

A double-double is never bad, but becomes that much better off of fun, seemingly impossible shots like this.
