Brief History of the Bulls

With a change in direction providing small steps on a big ladder, the 1973-74 season would prove to be the year of the bull. In their most accomplished season thus far utilizing an elevated defense strategy of undeniable strengths, the Chicago Bulls prepared for their coveted role in the Western Finals.

Striving between victory and defeat and injuries taking their toll, the Bulls relocate to the Central Division in 1980. Upon claiming their first short lived victory in five years, the beloved Bulls were on top again.

In the ten years of dismal victory, 1983 would escalate the Chicago Bulls to world fame when they chose Michael Jordan in their 3rd round draft pick. With his ability to appear as if gently touching the ground, watching him is similar to watching art.

Heading into the 1987-88 season, the Bulls continued to make headlines. In the addition of Scottie Pippen the Bulls find themselves in the All-Star game where Michael Jordan wins his first All-Star MVP award.

In 1993, after the murder of his father, Michael Jordan shocked the world with his announcement to retire. While the Chicago Bulls retired his jersey and the team struggled with the strong support he provided, they overcame the obstacles and forged ahead to win. In the 1995-96 season, Michael Jordan returned to play for the Bulls adding confidence to a team still trying to grasp playing without him by their side.

As the following years seem to mesh together, each containing its own special award or memory, the Bulls can always find themselves at the top. From being represented at the Olympics to winning NBA championships and a little of everything else thrown in the Chicago Bulls will always be considered winners.
