Franchise History
The Early Years

The Chicago Bulls are actually the second NBA team in Chicago, after the Packers/Zephyrs (now the Washington Wizards). 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. Over the next few years, the Bulls assembled the pieces to be competitive, though they never quite reached the top. During the 1970s, the Bulls were known as a tough, defensive-minded team, built around forwards Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, Chet Walker, point guard Norm Van Lier, and center Tom Boerwinkle. Nevertheless, the team only won one division title, and never made it to the Finals.

By the late 70s and early 80s, the team had hit the cellar of the league. ABA Dispersal-draft top pick center Artis Gilmore led a Bulls squad which included high draft-choices, guard Reggie Theus, forward David Greenwood, and forward Orlando Woolridge. After Gilmore was traded to the San Antonio Spurs for center Dave Corzine, the Bulls employed a high-powered offense centered around Theus, and which soon included guards Quentin Daly and Ennis Whatley. However, with continued dismal results, the Bulls decided to change directions, trading Theus during the 1983-84 season.

Arrival of Michael Jordan

In the summer of 1984 the team's fortunes changed for good when they received the third pick of the NBA draft, after Houston and Portland. After the Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon and the Blazers jumped on Sam Bowie, the Bulls grabbed shooting guard Michael Jordan. Jordan would go on to redefine the game and its record books, establishing himself as arguably the greatest player ever.

A Dramatic Dismantling
The summer of 1998 marked the most dramatic dismantling of a world champion ever, as Jerry Krause completely revamped the roster for the worst. Krause traded Scottie Pippen and refused to re-sign Phil Jackson, prompting Michael Jordan to retire for the second time. Krause also declined to resign Dennis Rodman and Steve Kerr, and traded Luc Longley. New coach Tim Floyd was given a starting lineup of point guard Randy Brown, shooting guard Ron Harper, newcomer Brent Barry at small forward, power forward Toni Kukoc, and center Bill Wennington. Kukoc led the team in scoring, rebounding, and assists, but with little help the team crashed and burned, winning 13 of 50 games in the lockout-shortened season.
