The players who defined Chicago Bulls basketball. Icons who shaped the franchise and left a legacy that endures.
Numbers hanging in the rafters at United Center. The players who gave everything to Chicago Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls are synonymous with one name: Michael Jordan. Founded in 1966, the Bulls became a global phenomenon in the 1990s when Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and coach Phil Jackson won six NBA championships in eight years (1991-1993, 1996-1998), including the legendary 72-10 season in 1995-96. The dynasty transformed basketball from an American sport into a worldwide cultural force. Before Jordan, the Bulls had competitive teams with players like Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, and Artis Gilmore. After the dynasty, Derrick Rose's MVP season in 2011 reignited the franchise before injuries intervened. The Bulls remain one of the most recognized sports brands globally, with the Jordan legacy continuing to inspire generations of players and fans.
Michael Jordan's #23 is the most famous number in basketball history. Six championships, six Finals MVPs, five regular-season MVPs, and a cultural transformation that turned the Chicago Bulls into the most recognized sports brand on earth.

View profile →Bob Love was the Chicago Bulls' first great offensive player — a jump-shooting artist who averaged 21 points a game and made three All-Star teams. But the story of why the Bulls retired his #10 has as much to do with what happened after basketball as during it.
