The Chicago Bulls were created in 1966 and finished 33-48 in their inaugural NBA season. Their 33-48 record is the best of any expansion team in NBA history.
Since their founding in 1966, the Bulls have become one of the most successful franchises in NBA history, thanks largely to their domination in the 1990s. They won six titles, all during the 1990-91 and 1997-98 seasons, thanks to Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Phil Jackson, and Dennis Rodman, who joined the roster during their second three-peat.
Chicago has produced 13 Hall of Fame players, as well as numerous additional luminaries.
Jimmy Butler began his career in 2011 after being drafted 30th overall by the Bulls. Butler played only 8.5 minutes per game during his rookie season. His minutes would grow over the next two seasons, but in 2014-15, he became a star, averaging 20.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.8 steals en route to his first All-Star appearance and the Most Improved Player title.
