The 1991 Chicago

BullsBy: LF

One Team

The Chicago bulls are one of the most

memorable teams in the NBA. Known for

winning 2 3 peats in 8 years, they go down in

history as one of the best basketball teams ever.

In my opinion, the 1991 Chicago Bulls are the

most successful and greatest team in the NBA

because this incredible team began a whole

new generation, not just for their home town,

Chicago, but for the entire NBA. This year was

the beginning of the Bulls being able to

statistically show they can win multiple

championships in a row with MJ and Pippen,

Paxson, and Cartwright."Puppies, Companies

One Goal

Another aspect of why the 91 Bulls were the greatest team ever was Phil Jackson, their coach. He began with putting a team together by insuring every player had a role. Since there had been several scuffs during practice between Jordan and john Paxson(usually because the team played keep away from Jordan instead of practicing like a team.) Jackson focused on team play. Jordan must have been doing something right however, because he remains third in most point ever.

ChampionsA quote from NBA.com said,“Chicago won 20

of 21 games in one stretch during the second

half of the season and finished with a 61-21

record to win the Central Division title by 11

games over two-time defending champion

Detroit. The Bulls charged through the playoffs,

sweeping New York, beating Philadelphia in five

games and then dethroning Detroit with a four-

game sweep to move into the NBA Finals

against the Los Angeles Lakers with an 11-1

mark.”

PatienceThe Bulls ended up beating the bad boys in the

eastern conference finals 4-0, this is a great

example of patience being a virtue. This shows they

overcome challenges because they were able to

beat the best team in the NBA at the time.

“Jordan was dominant as ever, winning

his second MVP award after leading

the league in scoring for the fifth year in

a row at 31.5 ppg…..Bill Cartwright

competently manned the middle,

heading a four-man center committee

that also included Stacey King, Will

Perdue and Scott Williams, thus giving

Coach Phil Jackson plenty of fouls to

work with when needed. Improving B.J.

Armstrong and reliable John Paxson

shared the other guard spot, along with

three-point shooter Craig Hodges.”
