Chicago Bulls Tickets

To most, the Chicago Bulls are forever defined by one incomparable player-Michael Jordan-and for good reason.There has never been a competitor quite like No. 23, who brought long-suffering Chicago Bulls fans six championships in the 1990s and starred in enough highlight videos to fill Lake Michigan. Chicago Bull's NBA history, however, did not begin when the Chicago Bulls chose M.J. with the third pick in the 1984 draft. It started in 1966, when the Chicago Bulls Tickets joined the league as an expansion team. The early '70s brought their first taste of success, as standouts like Bob Love, Chet Walker, Norm Van Lier and Jerry Sloan made their names known. Chicago Bulls tickets reached the Western Conference finals in 1974 and '75. Hard times followed over the next dozen years, but Jordan lifted the Chicago Bulls to heights they had never before seen-first with his youthful array of basket-attacking moves and later with a competitive fire that drove the franchise to dynasty status. With sidekick Scottie Pippen and a reliable group of role players fulfilling the schemes of Coach Phil Jackson and offensive guru Tex Winter, Jordan's Bulls twice won three straight titles (1991-93 and 1996-98). Not even a brief retirement by Jordan and his ill-advised minor-league baseball career between the two "three-peats" could keep the Chicago Bulls Tickets from their status as the NBA's "team of the '90s."
