NBA Ticket Broker > Chicago Bulls Tickets

Professional basketball in Chicago really comes down to three eras – pre-Jordan, Jordan, and post-Jordan. Pre-Jordan, from 1968 to 1984, was not void of success. Players like Johnny "Red" Kerr, Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, Norm Van Lier, and Clifford Ray were the stars before the merger with the ABA, an era that included two visits to the Western Conference Finals. Post-merger, Reggie Theus, David Greenwood, and Orlando Woodridge gave the basketball franchise plenty of talent, but ultimately, those Bulls rosters fell quite short.

Luckily, one of the advantages of falling short in the NBA is the chance to finds a star in the lottery. The Bulls benefited from the prevailing notion that bigs were the key to success, and in 1984 they used the number three pick to draft Michael Jordan. Jordan would change the game, allowed David Stern to expand the league, and brought six championships to the third largest city in the U.S. Jordan first made an impression as a scorer that was impossible to stop. Then he was blessed with Phil Jackson as a coach, Scottie Pippen as a floor mate, and Horace Grant and Dennis Rodman as power forward. The team popularized the Triangle offense, making the point a perimeter shooter instead of a ball handler and revolutionizing the game again.

All good things have to come to an end, and for the Chicago Bulls that end came in 1999. Jordan had retired, Pippen had been traded and the city of Chicago mourned the next few seasons at the United Center. Elton Brand, Jamal Crawford, and Eddy Curry were not the answers. Instead, a new gleaming light appeared in the Chicago sky. A local player, Derrick Rose, took the Memphis Tigers to the NCAA championship in his freshman season and the Bulls used the number one draft pick in 2008 to bring him home.

Now, Rose is an MVP and the Chicago Bulls tickets for this next era are providing the Chicago-land with optimism.
