The Chicago Bulls received some criticism this offseason when they traded fan favorite Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Josh Giddey, and many still have mixed emotions about the move.

Regardless of what fans may think of Giddey, the 22-year-old Australian goalkeeper has undeniable talent. Through 21 games, Giddey has been quite disappointing, averaging 11.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.7 assists as the Bulls’ starting point guard.

After going down four points in Friday’s loss, Giddey bounced back and delivered one of his best performances of the season. In Monday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, Giddey recorded his first triple-double as a Bull, dropping 20 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, en route to a 26-point victory in Chicago.

Giddey’s triple-double caught the attention of the entire NBA, with many fans and different social media accounts reacting to his stellar performance on Monday night.

Via Dale: “FIRST LIKE A BULL!!!”

Via Jason: “This guy had unlimited potential. Fans hate him and Patrick Williams but forget they’re 22 and 23. They’re nowhere near their peak”

Via Jason Knight: “Apologies should be as loud as disrespect!!!”

Via Legion Hoops: “CHI-TOWN GIDDEY TRIPLE-DOUBLE
20 points
13 rebounds
11 assists
17/09 FG”

Giddey recorded the 12th triple-double of his career, showing Bulls fans what he is capable of after a rough start to the season with his new team. As the Bulls look for a spark to get back into the playoff conversation, Giddey will certainly be an X-factor in the future.
