No bull. They are the Greatest!

The Chicago Bulls are the greatest NBA team. In 1995 to 96, with 72 wins and 10 losses, the Bulls set all records. They were indeed the single best team in recent history. The phenomena that the Bulls generated was compared to the excitement led by the Beatles and The Rolling Stones. There was hysteria…America went mad. People paid big bucks to see them.

Michael Jordan was at the peak of his powers. Rodman led in rebounds. Pippen was the best all-round player. Kukoc was the best European player to grace the NBA. The Bulls also got the best coach in town, Phil Jackson.

The pre-game introduction was excellent. Laser lights dancing round the arena, the red bull charging across the city skyscrapers on the video screens. The Bulls had the great Air Show – Michael Jordan.

The Bulls are tops in sports franchise during the 90s. The great team, the players and the winning streak set a unique appeal that transcends not just basketball, but the world of sports. The red bull logo is probably one of the well-recognised logo in the world. It was as recognisable as McDonald’s golden arches and the “Medusa” logo from Starbucks.

Their greatest moments… Paxson nailing the 3-peat in 1993, He’s gone and then, he’s back in 1993 – 95, that great record of 72 wins -10 losses in 1995 – 96, driving for No. 5 in 1996 – 97 and finally, the last dance in 1998.

Jordan and company was fabulous during the Bulls’ amazing run in the 90s. It was always a stellar perfomance from them… the glorious run of 6 NBA titles in eight years.

Number 23 + 33 + 91 would give the Bulls, countless three-peats! The Bulls sure set the records as the dominant basketball team of their era and perhaps, the greatest in history.
