The Bulls Dynasty: Jordan and Chicago’s Golden Era

The 1990s were Chicago’s decade. Led by Michael Jordan, the Bulls three-peated twice: 1991-93 and 1996-98. Six Finals, six titles, six Finals MVPs for Jordan — an efficiency unmatched.

The dynasty rested on a stable core: Jordan the absolute center, Scottie Pippen the all-around sidekick, Phil Jackson weaving them with the triangle. Role players like Horace Grant, Steve Kerr and Ron Harper each fit.

In 1996 the Bulls set a then-record 72-10 regular season, pushing dominance to the limit. All decade, Chicago was the bar and Jordan its brightest sign.

Whether an era bears someone’s name is judged by making the league look up for six years. Jordan wrote the 90s in his own surname with six rings.
