Chicago Bulls


Authors Note:since my favorite basketball team is the Chicago Bulls i, i wrote an essay on them.

The Chicago Bulls are one of the greatest teams in the history of the NBA, but they were not always very good. For about 8 years they were one of the top teams but then they fell apart and the two new teams were the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Then in 1984 the Bulls drafted Michael Jordan 3rd overall, he started to bring the team back to the top. But they always came short of the finals because of the Detroit Pistons. Just Michael Jordan wasn’t enough, so the got players like Steve Kerr, Luke Longley, B.J Armstrong, Scotty Pippen and most importantly coach Phil Jackson. After that the very next season the Bulls won their 1st championship.

This far into the story you probably know that I like basketball, but you probably didn’t know that all six NBA finals the Bulls appeared in they won all six. The thing that I think is amazing is that they won all six in the 1990’s (90-91, 91-92, 92-93, 95-96, 96-97, and 97-98). In that span Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen became one of the greatest duos in basketball history. Then after that Michael and Scotty were traded away and they became bad again.

Just recently in 2010-2011 the bulls were lead to the NBA east finals but came short to the Miami Heat who had required Lebron James and Chris Bosh last summer. In 2010 Michael Jordan was elected into the hall of fame, and in 2011 Scotty Pippen was too. And that’s the history of the Chicago Bulls. #5
