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.
3. 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.

4. Champions
A 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 fourgame sweep to move into the NBA Finals
against the Los Angeles Lakers with an 11-1
mark.”

5. “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.”

The 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.

Editor's Notes
----- Meeting Notes (12/15/13 22:45) -----bulls being able to beat the bad boys is a good example of patience because it shows that with time and desire, you can accomplish anything, even beatnig the best team in the NBA. and once you've beaten the best team in the NBA you suddenly become the now best team. Once they were the best team, the 1991 bulls became filled with hope knowing they could accomplish something so great was enough for them to do it over and over again.
