Chicago Bulls Profile

The Chicago Bulls are actually the third NBA team to represent the city of Chicago. The first -- first known as the Packers and laster as the Zephyrs -- is now the Washington Wizards. The second, the Stags, folded in 1950.
The third time, it would appear, is the charm.
Three is a significant number for the Bulls for another reason -- led by Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest player in league history, the team "three-peated" as NBA champions twice... in 1991, 1992 and 1993 and again in 1996, 1997 and 1998.
