    1966–1984: Early years

    The Chicago Bulls are actually the third NBA team in Chicago, after the Packers/Zephyrs (now the Washington Wizards) and the now defunct Stags (1946–1950). Today, the Bulls occasionally wear the throwback blue and red jerseys from the Stags. The team began play for the 1966–67 season, and immediately posted the best record by an expansion team in NBA history, qualifying for the playoffs. During its first two seasons, the Bulls played a majority of their home games at the International Amphith...

    1984–1998: The Michael Jordan era

    In the summer of 1984, the team's fortunes changed when it received the third pick of the NBA draft, after Houston and Portland. While the Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon and the Blazers jumped on Sam Bowie, the Bulls grabbed Shooting Guard Michael Jordan out of North Carolina. The team, with new management in owner Jerry Reinsdorf and General Manager Jerry Krause, decided to rebuild around Jordan. Jordan set franchise records during his rookie campaign for scoring (3rd in the league) and st...

    Detroit Pistons

    The Bulls–Pistons rivalry is an NBA rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons. The rivalry began in the late 1980s and was one of the most intense in NBA history for a couple of years, when Michael Jordan evolved into one of the league's best players and the Pistons became a playoff contender.

    Miami Heat

    The Bulls–Heat rivalryis an NBA rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. It began once the Heat became contenders during the 1990s, a decade dominated by the Bulls. They were eliminated three times by Chicago, who went on to win the title each time. The rivalry came back in the post-Michael Jordan era due to the Heat and the Bulls becoming favorites in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls, led by Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, and Joakim Noah, battled the Heat's 'Big 3' LeBron James, Dwyane W...

    New York Knicks

    The Bulls–Knicks rivalryis a rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The two basketball teams have played each other every year since the Bulls first joined the NBA in 1966. However, the rivalry began to grow in intensity during the late 1980s and early 1990s, when both teams became huge playoff contenders. This was due to a variety of factors: the great frequency in which the teams competed against each other in high-stakes cont...

    Home game introduction

    For the Chicago Bulls home game intro, Tommy Edwards, the PA announcer of the Bulls, uses "Sirius" (by Alan Parsons), "On the Run" and other songs. In 1990, he was replaced by Ray Clay upon his move to Boston for the CBS radio employment and Clay continued the various aspects of the tradition. Since the move to United Center for the Bulls, they added fireworks and lasers going up. There are also improvements to White Way video screen in the arena as well as the addition to the monitoring of t...

    Black Shoe Tradition

    The Bulls have an unofficial tradition of wearing black shoes (regardless of being home or away) during the playoffs, which dates all the way back to 1989 when they debuted the tradition. It was noted when the Bulls made their first playoff appearance during the 2004-05 season after a six year hiatus, they went back to the tradition and sported black shoes. They were also the first NBA team to outfit the black socks with black shoes when they made their championship run during the 1996 Playof...

    Slam Dunk Participants

    It's noteworthy to mention that the Chicago Bulls have had three participants in the Slam Dunk Contest held every year at the NBA All-Star Game. Michael Jordan won the competition back-to-back years in 1987 and 1988. Scottie Pippen competed in 1990. Tyrus Thomas competed in the dunk contest in 2007, but did not reach the final round.
