What jersey numbers have the Bulls retired? Who was the first head coach? Has any coach had a better fashion sense than Dick Motta? How did Olden Polynice help shape the Bulls’ dynasty? Who was the last Bulls’ player to win a three-point contest? And did the Bulls really draft an Olympic track and field star? Trades have brought Bob Love, Chet Walker, Charles Oakley, and Dennis Rodman to Chicago. Draft picks have been used to add Norm Van Lier, Reggie Theus, Michael Jordan, Horace Grant and Derrick Rose to the list of Bulls greats. And coaches from Johnny “Red” Kerr to Jerry Sloan, Doug Collins and Phil Jackson have led the team through exciting seasons. And fans have made both the Chicago Stadium and the United Center some of the hardest placed to play in the NBA. Beyond the Bulls’ six championship seasons during the 1990s, there have been many memorable playoff series, individual performances, all-star games and individual awards. Some have led the team to better seasons and new heights; others have been disappointing for fans and players alike. But which moments stand out most in nearly 70 years of basketball on Chicago’s west side? The Chicago Bulls have a long, colorful history dating back to the team’s inception in 1966. In this book, long-time Chicago sports writer Tab Bamford chronicles all of the important moments, coaches, trades and draft picks that have shaped the organization that fans around the world call their favorite in the NBA.
