Kirk Hinrich Makes an Appearance in Arlington Heights, IL

For Bulls fans that live in or around Arlington Heights, Illinois, there’s a big treat in store for you tonight. Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich will make an appearance at the city’s Circuit City tonight at 6 p.m. to sign autographs and help celebrate the store’s grand opening. Souvenirs autographed by Hinrich will also be sold at the event, with proceeds going to the city’s Boys & Girls Club. For those who love basketball (and the Bulls), this is bound to be a real treat. Hinrich started playing basketball at an early age, learning from his father, Jim, who was a high school basketball coach in Sioux City, Iowa. He finds it important to give kids exposure to the game, and to the NBA at an early age, and so he takes every chance he can to be involved in promoting the sport for kids.

Hinrich played under his father throughout his high school career. He was named Co-Iowa Mr. Basketball in 1999. He originally committed to play for Iowa State but changed his mind when coach Tim Floyd took the head coaching position for the Bulls. Hinrich decided to play at the University of Kansas, where he remained for four years before being drafted to the NBA. The star player has been with the Bulls since 2003 and the upcoming season is definitely looking promising for both Hinrich and his team.
