About Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls are actually the third NBA team in Chicago, after the Packers–Zephyrs (now the Washington Wizards) and the Stags (1946–50). 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.

By the late 1970s and early 1980s, the team had hit the cellar of the league. The Bulls' fortunes would have been forever changed were it not for a simple coin flip. In 1979, the Bulls lost a coin flip for the right to pick first in the NBA draft. Had the Bulls won the toss, they would have selected the great Magic Johnson.

Instead that revival had to wait for the arrival of Michael Jordan in 1984.By the 90s the pieces were in place for one of the greatest sports dynasties in the history of sports. During the 1990s, they won six championships in 8 years with two three-peats. All six of those championship teams were led by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and coach Phil Jackson.
