  • A Brief History

    The Bulls established a franchise in the state's largest city, Chicago in 1966. The team made it to the NBA playoffs in its first year. The team went on to win six championships in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998. These championship years occurred while Phil Jackson was the head coach and after Michael Jordan joined the organization.
  • The Jordan Years

    In 1984, owner Jerry Reinsdorf and General Manager Jerry Krause decided to overhaul the franchise. In doing so, the team invested in new talent. Michael Jordan was selected as the third pick in the first round of the 1984 NBA draft. With Jordan, the acquisition of Scottie Pippen and John Paxson, the Bulls went on to win three-consecutive titles in the early 1990s, repeating the success with Michael Jordan taking the lead in the mid-to late 1990s.
