This week is a treat for Chicago Bulls: Where are they now? This week's feature is the none other than the "Hungarian Jordan" aka Kornel David. Dávid was signed by the Chicago Bulls on October 1, 1997 and waived on October 28. He then spent the next part of the 1997-98 season with the Rockford Lightning in the CBA but was released on December 1997. He later moved back to Hungary, signed for the remainder of the season by Albacomp Székesfehérvár, winning the 1997-98 Hungarian National Championship in the process. He would also spend part of the next season with Albacomp Székesfehérvár.

On 21 January 1999, Dávid was signed as a free agent by Chicago Bulls and was waived on January '00. A few days later, he signed to the first of two consecutive 10-day contracts after which he moved back to Hungary on February signed for the remainder of the season by Albacomp Székesfehérvár. Again Dávid would bring accolades by leading the Albacomp Székesfehérvár to the 2000 Hungarian National Cup. Next, Dávid signed as free agent by Toronto Raptors on August '00 and was then traded to Detroit Pistons on February '01.

Dávid played 109 NBA games, starting 11, averaging 5.0 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

He went to Spain for the 2003-04 season, donning jersey number 18 for TAU Cerámica. Dávid played a decisive role in the team's first Final Four appearance. He averaged 10.3 points and 4.2 rebounds in the regular season, but his numbers went up to 14.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in the Top 16, helping Tau to reach the playoffs. When Euroleague.net sat down with Dávid in Vitoria days after the team made it to the Final Four and asked him about his feelings of reaching the big event. "I think it's an unbelievable feeling," Dávid told Euroleague.net. "I am a European player, and as you know, from a small country, Hungary, that is not a big basketball country. To achieve this goal is one of the best moments of my career." He has won the 2004 and 2006 Spanish National Cup (King's Cup) with Tau Cerámica Saski Baskonia Vitoria.
