Halftime was meant for Love - and marriage.
Bob Love, the second-leading scorer in Chicago Bulls history, was married Friday night at center court of the United Center between the first and second halves of the Bulls' game against the San Antonio Spurs.Love, now the team's director of community relations, wed Rachel Dixon in a seven-minute ceremony attended by Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, general manager Jerry Krause and other team officials.
Presiding was Lacy J. Banks, a Baptist minister who also happens to be a sportswriter for the Chicago Sun-Times.
The sellout crowd cheered as Love said, "I do." The applause grew as the couple kissed at the conclusion of the ceremony.
Now that Michael Jordan is playing again, Love is one of only two Bulls whose number has been retired. Jerry Sloan is the other.
Love, who wore No. 10, scored 12,623 points for Chicago from 1968-76. Only Jordan has scored more points in a Bulls uniform.
