Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are a professional basketball team based in Chicago, Illinois. They are in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Bulls play their home games at the United Center, an arena on Chicago’s West Side shared with the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL).
The Bulls have won six NBA championships. Their first three titles came in three successive seasons (1991–1993), including the first ever “Three-peat” in NBA history. After winning again in 1996 and 1997, they suffered a second “Three-peat” between 1998 and 2000; this period coincided with an intense rivalry () with the Utah Jazz, whom they met twice in the Finals during those years. However, since winning their sixth title in 1998, they have failed to make it back to the Finals. Their dynasty was ended when Michael Jordan retired for a second time following their loss to the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals; he then joined forces with fellow Hall of Famers Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman on the short-lived but successful NBA team, as well as head coach Phil Jackson, to win two more championships with the Bulls before finally retiring for good after their sixth title victory.
The franchise has mostly struggled since Jordan’s second retirement and has missed the playoffs nine times since 2000; however, they have made it back to postseason play three times: once under interim head coach Jim Boylan after Scott Skiles was fired 46 games into the 2007–08 season (their first playoff appearance since Jordan’s second retirement), when they were swept by defending Eastern Conference champion LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers; again in Tom Thibodeau’s debut season as head coach in 2010–11 when they lost to James and his Miami Heat team; and most recently when they defeated James’ Cavaliers team en route to reaching the 2015 Eastern Conference Finals where they lost to eventual NBA champion James and his Cavaliers again.
