Chicago Bulls

If you asked a random person anywhere in the world to name one NBA basketball team, chances are still pretty good that it might be the Chicago Bulls. Such was the impact of the great Michael Jordan in the 1980s and 90s that one can still see the iconic Bulls logo on jackets, hats, and T-shirts everywhere, even by people who might struggle to find the Windy City on a map (all of this in spite of the Chicago Bulls not being very good ever since the end of the Jordan years). A visit to the United Center to see the Chicago Bulls play live is nonetheless high on the bucket list of many basketball fans, both for the Jordan nostalgia and also the hope that the next great Bulls dynasty could be waiting in the wings.

Chicago Bulls History

The Chicago Bulls will forever be synonymous with one man: Michael Jordan. Probably the greatest player to ever set foot on the hardwood of an NBA court, Jordan not only lit up league highlight reels with his acrobatic leaps, iconic slam dunks, and sheer determination to win, but also helped propel the NBA into the worldwide popularity that it enjoys to this day. As so many fans have recently revisited through The Last Dance, a popular Netflix documentary about the Bulls of the 1990s, Jordan teamed up with the unsung hero Scottie Pippen and the volatile but talented Dennis Rodman, coached by the great Phil Jackson, to establish a dynasty that won 6 NBA Championships in just 8 seasons, the first-ever championship titles in the franchise’s previously mediocre record. There are too many huge dramatic memories to recount them all here, but one that probably rises above them all is the image of Michael Jordan rising to sink the winning shot in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals against the Utah Jazz with 5.2 seconds left, the shot that brought the team their 6th championship and the last shot Jordan ever took as a Bull. After the departure of Jackson and the dissolution of the Jordan dynasty team, the Bulls struggled for the following decade. Recent years have seen occasional promising signs of resurgence, but Bulls’ fans have tended to be skeptical that their team can regain any of its past glory. In 2023, the Chicago Bulls squeaked into the 2023 Play-In after a 10th-place regular season finish in the Eastern Conference, where they defeated the Toronto Raptors before falling to the Miami Heat, which meant the team missed out on the 2023 NBA Playoffs. Can they make a proper return to the postseason in 2024? Time will tell. With great young players like Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso, and DeMar DeRozan, don’t count the Bulls out just yet.

Chicago Bulls Rivalries

The Chicago Bulls’ rapid rise to the top in the 1980s and 1990s made them their fair share of enemies on the way, both on their way up and after they were up on top. Many of these rivalries have endured to this day. The Bulls’ rise saw them butt heads with two powerhouses in Larry Bird’s Boston Celtics and Magic Johnson’s Los Angeles Lakers. The real antagonists to the Bulls, however, were the Detroit Pistons led by Isaiah Thomas, known as the Bad Boys, who turned basketball into a physical battle (at times, cynically so) where they aimed to put Jordan and his teammates on the ground every time they tried to drive to the hoop. The Pistons and Bulls had four truly memorable consecutive playoff encounters, with the Bad Boys winning the first three but falling at last in 1991. The rivalry between the two cities continues to this day, extending to other sports like hockey, football, and baseball as well. The Bulls also have long-standing rivalries with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and New York Knicks. The Utah Jazz would also love to beat the Bulls one day in the Finals, if the two ever meet there again!

Are Chicago Bulls basketball games exciting?

Ever since the heady days of the 1990s, Chicago Bulls basketball fans have been some of the most passionate fans that you will find anywhere in North America, particularly if their team makes the NBA Playoffs. The Chicago crowd loves nothing more than to get rowdy and raucous to cheer on their team. Player introductions at United Center are incredibly exciting, with “Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project playing while lasers, fireworks, and computerized displays add to the spectacle. The opposing team’s introductions are typically accompanied by the Darth Vader theme or other villainous musical tracks. It’s never just a basketball game in Chicago when the Bulls are playing!
