The team began play for the 1966-67 season, and immediately posted the best record by an expansion team in NBA history, qualifying for the playoffs. In 1984 the franchise grabbed Michael Jordan from University of Carolina. Jordan would go on to redefine the game and rewrite its record books, establishing himself as the greatest player of all time. He set franchise records during his rookie campaign for scoring (3rd in the league) and steals (4th in the league), and led the Bulls back to the playoffs. The team would go on to win 6 NBA Championships with Michael Jordan.
Since the Jordan era the Bulls have not seen too much excitement from the franchise. The Bulls have not won a division title since 1998. Despite the last few years, the future is looking bright for Chicago. They have a lot of young talent that is becoming more confident day by day. The Bulls are led by Ben Gordon and Derrick Rose, followed by Luol Deng and Drew Gooden. If this combination stays together for the next couple of years, Chicago may soon be a team to watch out for.
