The Chicago Bulls, an American professional basketball team based in Chicago, were founded on January 16, 1966, and play their home games at the United Center. The team achieved its greatest success in the 1990s, becoming one of the NBA's greatest dynasties by winning six NBA championships between 1991 and 1998, including two "three-peats." This iconic era, led by Hall of Famers Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and coach Phil Jackson, greatly popularized the NBA globally.
Notably, the Bulls set an NBA record with 72 wins during the 1995–96 season and remain the only franchise to win multiple championships without ever losing an NBA Finals series. While struggling to regain their former glory since 1998, the team saw a brief resurgence in the early 2010s with Derrick Rose, who, like Jordan, earned an NBA Most Valuable Player Award while playing for the Bulls.
