History of the Bulls

The Chicago Bulls are one of the most successful teams in NBA history. They have won six championships, five of which were consecutive from 1991 to 1998. During this period, they had arguably the greatest player in NBA history: Michael Jordan. He led them to all those titles and was instrumental in making them a global brand that transcended basketball and became an icon for American culture during that time period.

The Bulls have been around since 1966 when they joined the league as part of its expansion efforts into larger markets like New York City and Los Angeles at that time. Their first championship came in 1971 with stars such as Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, and Chet Walker leading their way under head coach Dick Motta’s guidance who famously said “the opera ain't over 'til the fat lady sings” after winning it all against Seattle SuperSonics 4-3 games series victory on April 30th, 1971. The team went through some struggles before finally getting back to prominence by drafting Michael Jordan 3rd overall pick out of North Carolina University's 1983 draft class alongside Clyde Drexler (Portland Trail Blazers), Sam Bowie (Portland Trail Blazers), Charles Barkley(Philadelphia 76ers).

Since then there has been no looking back for the Chicago Bulls franchise even though there were a few down moments here & there but still managed to stay relevant by adding key pieces such as Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, etc alongside MJ throughout 90's decade which ultimately resulted in 6 Championships including 2 three-peats between 91-93 & 96-98 respectively. After retirement from Basketball MJ in post 98 season things changed drastically where the team struggled badly until the arrival of Derrick Rose 2008 Draft Class 1st Overall Pick outta Memphis Tigers University who brought hope & energy back into the United Center Stadium home court arena. However due lack of injuries he couldn't last long enough thus resulting in another rebuilding phase past couple of years yet again where young core players Lauri Markkanen, and Zach Lavine trying hard to bring glory days back once more!
