My Plan for the Chicago Bulls' New Season

The United Center took the place of the old Chicago Stadium on August 18, 1994 and became home of two remarkable teams. The United Center was built by William Wirtz (owner of the Blackhawks), and Jerry Reinsdorf (majority owner of the Blackhawks and team chairman of the Bulls). The Blackhawks and Bulls each own 50 percent of the Center in a joint venture. It is the largest arena in the United Stated and the NBA. The United Center has hosted over 200 events each year and 40 million guests since its grand opening in 1994. It has a seating capacity of 20,917 seats and has kept the old nickname of Chicago Stadium. For the fans, the United Center has places called the Fandemonium, the Locker Room, and the Windy City Grill. The United Center's acoustics were designed to make the noise level loud to recreate "The Roar" like it was at Chicago Stadium. Also the United Center was renovated in 2009 and 2010 to make 169 executive suites on the third level. It also has 144 flat screen televisions, new food and beverage stations, and two new bars that open to panoramic views, new signs, new menu items, new concession stand and seating in 326 called "Backstage", two new novelty areas, and new video systems. The United Center is portrayed very well on its website and on NBA website. The website talks about the history and what it has to offer to its fans.

The Washington Wizards are one of thirty NBA organizations, and they were founded in 1961. In 1961, they were known as the Chicago Packers before switching their name to the Zephyrs the following season. Starting in 1963, they moved to Baltimore and were known as the Bullets. They landed in Washington in 1973-74 as the Capital Bullets and became known as the Washington Bullets in 1974-75. They kept the Bullets name until 1997 when they became the Washington Wizards (“Wizards History,” Online). The Wizards won one NBA championship in the 1977-78 season when they defeated the Seattle SuperSonics as the Bullets. The organization has been owned by Ted Leonsis since June 2010 as part of Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which also owns and operates the Washington Capitals, Washington Mystics, the Verizon Center, and the Washington Valor (“Wizards History,” Online). Since January of 2016 I have interned for the Wizards organization in their basketball operations department. Although I believe the organization runs a smooth operation, there are certain aspects that call for improvement.

Derrick Martell Rose (born October 4, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played one year of college basketball for the Memphis Tigers before being drafted first overall by his hometown Chicago Bulls in the 2008 NBA draft.[1] After being named the NBA Rookie of the Year, Rose, at age 22, became the youngest player to win the NBA Most Valuable Player Award in 2011.

The way that the Bulls have shaped America the most was by selecting a small little shooting guard from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Bulls used their 3rd overall selection to take Michael Jordan, the player that would change history and never look back again. Michael Jordan would go on to win six total championships for the city of chicago. In those championship seasons Chicago’s economy sky rocketed. Along with the multiple championships that Jordan won in his career he also went on to win the NBA scoring title 10 times and also won a defensive player of the year award. Perhaps what Jordan did most to change America would be coming out with own personal brand. Jordan himself has released 30 signature shoe models

Have you ever just sat back and wondered how certain teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA) got there name as a professional basketball team? Well, after some detailed research I noticed that there are some interesting facts pertaining to the origin of each team in the NBA. The Chicago Bulls, Portland Trailblazers, and the Philadelphia 76ers all have interesting specifics relating to their name and the teams city. The background and origin of the NBA teams pertains to the history of each team, how they were able to name the team, and how they all share a common interest between each other.

A super team is a team of NBA super stars ranging from all the positions who are more than capable of averaging high shooting percentages, points or assists. These stars are well known for their ability to dominate in a category on the court; and imaging having a team with 3 stars who can easily take over the game in scoring, that would be the Oklahoma Thunder with Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony. Three stars who are elite scoring athletes, now imagine a team with 3 former MVPs, 2 players from the NBA’s 1st team, and an abundance of overrated players. This already sounds like a great team, but surprisingly this is all excluding Lebron James himself. The Cleveland Cavaliers have used the past couple of years to build this

Like most expansion teams, the Raptors struggled in their early years, but after the acquisition of Vince Carter through a draft day trade in 1998, the team set league-attendance records and made the NBA playoffs in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Carter was instrumental in leading the team to a then-franchise high 47 wins and their first playoff series win in 2001, where they advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. During the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons, they failed to make significant progress and he was traded in 2004 to the New Jersey Nets.

The Chicago Cubs are one of the most iconic and historic teams in MLB history. They play in one of the oldest stadium in the league, and are the only team to not have a jumbo tron. The franchise was established in 1876 as the Chicago White Stockings with manager Al

With their playoff run ending early against the Thunder in May, Dallas reacted by making some big moves in the offseason. First, they made sure starting point guard Deron Williams and franchise player Dirk Nowitzki returned to the team. The Mavericks then, with Chandler Parsons no longer on the roster, signed two ex-Warrior Harrison Barnes to a max deal and traded for ex-Warrior Andrew Bogut. Lastly, they strengthened their bench by signing Seth Curry.

Chicago Bulls: The Bulls have struggled all season with poor three-point shooting, depth issues, and road woes. However, they are right in the thick of things

NBA rumors are swirling around the basketball circle that Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau wants to have a least one familiar face to his new team. The new Minnesota head coach is planning to pursue free-agent Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah this summer, a reliable source told the Sporting New. Noah will become a free agent this offseason, and despite the fact that the former Florida Gator’s star isn’t at his peak anymore, he could still draw lots of attention. Noah’s current NBA team, the Chicago Bulls, wants to keep him but the Minnesota is also interested in him.

After missing out on a few restricted free agents including Portland Trailblazers' Allen Crabbe, and Miami Heat's Tyler Johnson, the Brooklyn Nets were still able to add some quality role players that can provide some minutes off the bench.

After an uncanny off-season, there have been a number of teams that have improved significantly. Obviously, the Golden State Warriors improved with the addition of Kevin Durant. But, there were teams in the Eastern Conference that made a big splash as well. As it's been known since he pretty much stepped foot on the hardwood, the mission for teams in the East to create a team in pursuit to dethrone "King James."

They're middle of the pack in other categories but this assessment is more of an eye test. Rose and Melo have never been known as defensive players but they are trying. They have picked up their intensity on the defensive end. Courtney Lee and Noah add some energy and decent defensive skills that add to the overall team D which can be contagious. There have been stretches during games where they feed off of each other's energy on the defensive end, which translates into positive offensive positions. They are playing with a sense of urgency that I haven't seen in awhile.

First of the 95-96 bulls, they had the greatest of all time, Micheal Jordan. He was the bug star for the bulls and he was the key point for the bulls getting six championships and also getting a 72-10 season which would be the best record for 20 years. Then you had Scottie Pippen who was Jordan's sidekick almost, he would get a lot of rebounds, he was an excellent stealer, and he could dunk the ball like it was nothing. Then you have Dennis Rodman, he is number two on the all time best rebounders list, that's very impressive for a man who is 6’7. Rodman wasn't the best offensive player but his defense stunned the crowd.
