The 2009-10 season is over. The Los Angeles Lakers have defended their title and have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are still the best team in the NBA. Chicago Bulls’ fans are well-accustomed to seeing Phil Jackson win. He won six rings here and we watched the man win five more as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers from 2000-2010. As the July 1st start date for free-agency looms, we ponder certain thoughts, hopes, and dreams […]
On the eve of a disappointing loss, during his last stint as a member of the Boston Celtics’ organization, it has been announced that Tom Thibodeau will be introduced as the next head coach of the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday […]
As we Bulls’ fans sit and wait for the 2009-10 NBA Season to come to an end, and for the July 1st starting date of Free Agency, we also take note that there is a battle going on between two NBA powerhouses. The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics are knotted 2-2 in their series, with vital Game 5 being played tonight […]
As isolated reports begin to sprinkle in about the current assistant coach of the Boston Celtics likely coaching the Chicago Bulls next season, we all must ask ourselves the obvious question. Is Tom Thibodeau the right man to coach Rose, Noah, Deng, Hinrich, and perhaps another big-name player in 2010-11?
The answer to that question […]
Chicago Bulls fans are serious about bringing LeBron James to Chicago. Serious enough to put up a billboard in downtown…
Let’s face it. Now that the season is over, we Bulls’ fans are overly eager to stare into the abyss that waits ahead of us. It is destined to be weeks of chaos, as the NBA gives itself a make-over this summer. This is definitely an exciting time in Chicago Bulls’ history, and there is a lot of optimism and confidence around the city. Starting with the 7-game war […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have taken a big gamble by firing Mike Brown on Monday. Brown had served as head coach for the Cavaliers for 5 seasons with no NBA championships and 1 Finals appearance to show for it. This might be foreshadowing of other […]
Since the year 1991, the Chicago Bulls have won more championships than any other franchise in the NBA – winning a total of six (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 1998). The next closest teams are the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs, at 4 apiece. The Bulls won these titles in dominant fashion. The NBA never saw such dominance since the 1960’s Boston Celtics, of Cousy and Russell, who won 10 of 11 during a stretch of time. But regardless, the 90’s Bulls undoubtedly featured the most dominant team in the history of the NBA. Bill Russell’s Celtics dominated in an era of fewer teams, prior to the ABA-NBA convergence, and before salary cap restrictions were placed on team owners. The Chicago Bulls run of 6 championships in 8 seasons separates them their stiff competition in the 1990’s. It separates them from the modern era teams, and the teams of the pre-shot-clock era. The Chicago Bulls’ dominance separates them, in a timeless fashion, from the rest of the NBA pack – as well as other professional sports franchises of any league (MLB, NFL, or NBA) of any single generation in American sports history.
There is obviously a key factor, or two, when detailing how the Bulls of 1991-98 were so successful. Chicago basketball featured two athletic horses, so to speak, in the form of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. The 6’7” Small-Forward, drafted from Central Arkansas in 1987, evolved into the game’s most versatile weapon, as well as its most selfless […]
