John Salmons made his first appearance at the United Center Tuesday night since being traded from the Bulls to the Milwaukee Bucks at the NBA's trading deadline in February.

For some reason, a few misguided Bulls fans decided to boo Salmons during the pregame introductions and early in the game. Why? Who knows. Maybe Salmons was too much of a gentleman and team player for their liking.

Salmons may not have always played well, but he always played hard. And remember, the Bulls dealt him because of salary cap concerns, not because he did anything wrong.
