Posing with his new teammates for the first time in Chicago, Ben Wallace looked at home.

?Does it feel strange to be in a Bulls uniform?? Wallace said while wearing his traditional No. 3 jersey. ?It?s a little different. But I will say I look good in red and white.?

Thanks mostly to Wallace?s arrival, the Bulls are being mentioned as an NBA Finals contender for the first time since the championship era ended. On the eve of training camp?s first practice, no players asked for those comments to be rescinded.

?I?m excited to be here, period,? Wallace added. ?Having the opportunity to play against this team over the last couple of years and watch them in the playoffs last year, they remind me a lot of how we played when (the Pistons) won the championship (in 2004).?
