VIDEO: Deng reacquaints himself with Bulls by dunking all over them

Luol Deng may not be having the best statistical season of his 12-year career, but the Miami Heat forward rose to the challenge against his former team.

Literally.

The 30-year-old vet - who missed Friday's loss to the Toronto Raptors due to an eye injury - returned to Miami's lineup in time to head back to his old stomping grounds.

Deng was drafted seventh overall by the Chicago Bulls in 2004 and played for them for nine-and-a-half seasons. On Monday, he reminded the United Center crowd of his ability to finish decisively at the rim.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself..."

Deng's drive and dunk over Bulls stretch-four Nikola Mirotic caught everyone off guard, and confirmed he's gotten over the eye issue.
