The Chicago Bulls are an American profes-
sional basketball team based in Chicago,
Illinois, playing in the Central Division of the
Eastern Conference in the National Basket-
ball Association (NBA). The team was foun-
ded in 1966. They are currently playing their
home games at the United Center. The team
is well known for having one of the greatest
dynasties in NBA history during the 1990s,
winning six championships in 8 years with
two three-peats. All six of those champion-
ship teams were led by Michael Jordan, Scot-
tie Pippen and coach Phil Jackson. The first
three championship teams included the likes
of Bill Cartwright, Horace Grant, John Paxson
and B.J. Armstrong, while the latter three
championship teams had Luc Longley, Steve
Kerr, Ron Harper, Toni Kukoc and Dennis
Rodman on the roster. The Bulls won an NBA
record 72 games during the 1995–96 NBA
season and are the only team in NBA history
to win at least 70 games in a single season.
During the 1990s, the Bulls helped spread
the popularity of the NBA around the world.
The 1998 NBA Finals, the Bulls’ most recent
championship appearance, was the most
watched championship series in NBA history.
