More Chicago Bulls Information

The Chicago Bulls call the United Center home. The facility was opened in 1994 in the midst of the Bulls dynastic reign. The new facility, and a championship team, sent ticket sales soaring in the mid 1990s. The Bulls have won three NBA championships in the United Center. Phil Jackson was brought in to head the team in 1990. Jackson's triangle offense proved to be unstoppable. In 1996, the Bulls went 72-10, the best single season record in NBA history.

Since Jordan's second retirement from basketball, the team has not quite regained its swagger. In 2002, the Bulls drafted collegiate player of the year Jay Williams. He was to be the first step towards revitalizing the franchise and boosting ticket sales. After a stellar rookie season, a motorcycle accident kept Williams off the court in the 2003-2004 season and possibly put an end to his career. Chicago welcomed home Scottie Pippen in 2003. Pippen, who was with the Bulls on all six championship teams, returned to Chicago after several years with the Portland Trailblazers. The Bulls selected college All-American Kirk Heinrich in 2003. The guard is a great leader on the court and has a knack for dishing out the basketball. Big man Tyson Chandler was drafted straight out of high school in 2001. He has matured a lot since he entered the league and has developed into a legitimate double-double threat night in and night out.
