The Chicago Bulls Basketball Team

When everyone thinks of the Chicago Bulls, they think of greatness. How could you not? The entire decade of the 1990s was all about the Chicago Bulls. Their star player Michael Jordan was easily the most popular athlete in the world, the franchise won 6 NBA championships in eight years, and they were easily recognized as the greatest team ever, owning a then-record 72-win season. They were at the peak of their fame as easily the most recognized team in the world. However, Michael Jordan called it quits after their sixth championship which began a long gradual decline for 20 years. In that time, they have not won any championships or even appeared in the Finals. Now, we have the newest edition of the team, the 2017-2018 Chicago Bulls. After trading three players with all-star experience before the season began, They left their team that is now a bunch of inexperienced players. Despite claims that they are a young team that will get better, I believe that the Chicago Bulls are the worst team in the NBA for now because of a lack of all-star caliber players and their terrible in-game performances.

One unknown to the game of basketball will assume Michael Jordan changed the game, or at least the one who made the game famous. However, before the ‘Gifted MJ’ there was one of the greatest rivalries in basketball, which raised television ratings, ergo, helped make the sport prominent. Magic Johnson and Larry bird’s rivalry was a sight to see. Magic and Bird’s contribution to basketball varies, their training techniques and personal life has led both of them to make phenomenal sport history, and everlasting legacies.

The Chicago Bulls joined the NBA for the 1966-67 season. The franchise struggled for the better part of a quarter century, occasionally putting excellent teams on the court, such as the tough units of the mid-1970s that featured Bob Love, Norm Van Lier, Jerry Sloan, and Tom Boerwinkle. More often, however, the Bulls worked hard for mediocre results. That all changed in the mid-1980s with the drafting of Michael Jordan, the dominant player of his era and possibly the greatest player of all time. Jordan won seven straight scoring titles with a combination of breathtaking slam dunks and a bag of thrilling tricks. He put up some of the biggest numbers in NBA history and wrote some of the most memorable chapters of the league. The addition of Scottie

Jordan's presence on the Chicago Bulls immediately woke up the interest of the fans. The entire franchise was very enthusiastic and felt very positive about their future. He was such a great player that on his first season he won the rookie of the year award with 28.2 points per game. The Bulls had a losing record before they had Jordan. After the Bulls had Jordan, nothing else but good things began to happen for this franchise. He took the Bulls to the playoffs for five straight years in a row. But they would always loose to the Detroit Pistons or Boston Celtics. "One problem was that Jordan sometimes played at a level so above his teammates that the Bulls failed to function as a team" (Greene 8-9).

Of the three major sports teams in Cleveland, Ohio, the Cleveland Cavalier, for they joined the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the early 1970. The Cavaliers had a very rocky start with the first 15 years being a losing season, after losing season. While some fans blamed the owner at the time, as he had no clue what he wanted to do with the team. But in 1988 the Cavaliers put together a rather good team, that made it to the playoff. During the first round of the playoff the Cavaliers played the Chicago Bulls in the best of five series. In the 5th game the Cavaliers were leading with only second to go in the game, but as with other teams in Cleveland, it would happen again, Michael Jordon would hit a basket with only 2 seconds left on the clock, this basket would be known as the “shot”, as this is a common theme for Cleveland fans, that all heartbreaking plays are given a name. Again, after the 1988 season the Cavaliers would only have mediocre seasons until after the 2003 draft, as a hometown boy from Akron, Ohio, named LeBron James, was graduating from high school, although the Cavaliers were not guaranteed that they would have the first draft pick to sign James, but as fate would have it, the Cavs, ended up winning the draft lottery and signed this young man to play for the Cavaliers. From the beginning of James career as a basketball player

During its memorable years with basketball superstar Michael Jordon, the Chicago Bulls became on of the most dominant sports teams in the history of sports. They won six NBA Championships (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998) and remain as one of the elite franchises in the league.

As the summer winds down and the NBA season is upon us, the Golden State Warriors are planning for their fight to claim another championship ring. Last season, the Warriors won the most games in a single season in NBA history (73), but fell just short of winning back-to-back championships. Having recruited superstar Kevin Durant, who joined the team this summer, seems to have made Golden State even more frightening than it already was. However, past experiences have shown us that a cluster of superstars on one team doesn’t necessarily mean an automatic ring.

We were finally in North California after 6 hours of drive. We were a little bit behind in our schedule, because we had booked tickets to a basketball game, so instead driving to our motel, we drove straight to East Trade Street to see the game. None of us had never been to a match before, so it was a little bit confusing about to get into the stadium, but we did have a great and the people here, were so loud, but the match was so funny, but loud. We spent 47 dollars on the tickets. The game ended with 115 to Chicago Bulls and 109 to Charlotte Hornets. Whether you’re looking for art, music, shopping or parks, Charlotte is right place for exploring new things. On our way to the motel, we stopped by the Green, walked through the park and took

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

The Boston Celtics’ Dynasty started in the 1956-1957 season when they won their first title for the franchise. The dynasty lasted until 1969 when they won their last championship in the 60’s. People call it the end of the dynasty because it’s when the biggest part of the team, both literally and figuratively, Bill Russell, retired. Russell was crowned the MVP of the NBA 5 times and winning the Finals 11 times in his 13 year career. He was elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1975. He was a 12-time NBA All Star, and a 1956 Olympic Gold Medalist. Bill Russell was drafted to the St. Louis Hawks in 1956, but it wasn’t until 1957, when the Celtics had just received Bill Russell in a trade where the Hawks received Ed Macauley and Cliff

The Chicago Fire soccer team was named after the great Chicago Fire that happened in October 8, 1971. On the 126th anniversary of the Chicago Fire it was announced that the soccer team will be named after the historic event. The Chicago Fire is a Professional Soccer team in the MLS and is a part of the Eastern Conference. In 1998, the team started their first season, winning the MLS cup and has won multiple U.S. open cups in past years, as well as the JD Power Award in all of Chicago. In 2006, the Fire moved to its own soccer-specific venue at the Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL with the park's ability to hold up to 28,000 people. Their vision is to grow and become the premier soccer club in MLS, both on and off the pitch, that embodies the

Everyone will form their own opinion when it comes to the ground-breaking decision to fire David Blatt as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. It wasn't necessarily a terrible decision by any means, but it was quite odd. To fire a head coach, who had coached a team to a 30-11 record and had them on top of the conference almost sounds comical. But, something needed to change, and unfortunately GM David Griffin decided to start with Blatt.

As a conclusion, the bulls have one of the longest most exciting journeys in the NBA. It all started in 1966 season when they first entered the league and got the best record by any expansion team in NBA history. In the mid-1980s the bulls started their golden era by drafting Michael Jordan , the golden boy of his era, but they still didn’t win any championships until the 1990s when they won six championships

First came heavy breathing while staring at the sky. Ben noted: “Jenna, just breathe. Darling, breathe in, breathe out.” Jenna and Ben held hands. It’s obvious; she’s anxious; a visible shake jolts her sweaty palms. She glanced over and said: “I got it. I understand.” Ben stuttered, asking: "So – so what do you contemplate their reaction when they find out?" Jen sighs. While sitting on the swing in the frigid early December outside her mother's farmhouse, Jenna rests her tired head on his cold-shoulder; softly, she cries. Her eyes welled with tears; slowly, they trickle about his chest; the chilled tears dripped from his Chicago Bulls sweater to his dirty, ripped jeans: "I don't have a clue. I guess I haven't thought that far
