![]() In my mind, Artis Gilmore was the best center in Bulls history and is one of the most underrated Players in the history of the NBA. In addition to those stats, on two different occasions with Bulls he finished with the best field goal percentage in the NBA (1981,1982) while also being named a three times top 5 rebounder (1977, 1978, and 1979). ![]() Grant only made one All-Star Appearance while playing in Chicago (1994), but was a vital member to the Bulls winning 3 NBA Championships.Īrtis Gilmore: Nicknamed ”The A-Train,” Hall-of-Famer Artis Gilmore was one of the most productive Bulls of All-Time as he never averaged less than 17.8 points, 9 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game while playing for the Bulls. Grant played for the Bulls for 7 season and ranked in the top 10 in offensive rebounds on three different occasions (1992, 1993, and 1994), along with averaging at-least 12 point per game (except for his rookie season) and once with the Bulls ranked in the top 10 in field goal percentage. While playing for the Bulls organization, Grant was a dominant rebounder and good outside shooter while helping the Bulls win the franchises first three NBA Titles. Horace Grant: This was a tough decision as there could have been a number of people named at this spot, but in my mind its Horace Grant that should be named the best power forward in Bulls history. ![]() In addition to all of these accomplishments, Scottie was the 1994 All-Star Game MVP and named to the 1st team All-NBA Defensive squad 8 times in his career. In addition to those awards, during the time when Michael Jordan decided to play baseball, it was Pippen that stepped up and almost helped the Bulls Reach the Eastern Conference Finals (1994). Scottie Pippen: The other member of the greatest duo in the history of the NBA (Scottie Pippen), was one of the best defenders of all time, voted one of the Top 50 players of All-Time, along with eventually being elected into the NBA Hall-of-Fame. Photo Courtesy By: Rob Grabowski-US PRESSWIRE. Jordan has won a number of awards throughout his incredible NBA Career which include: Rookie of the Year (1985), Defensive Player of the Year (1988), 5 NBA MVP’s (1988, 1991-1992, 1996, and 1998), to go along with 6 NBA Championships (98) as he won MVP of the NBA Finals each time.Ĭhicago Bulls former players Michael Jordan (right) and Scottie Pippen (left) speak to the crowd as the Bulls celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first NBA Championship during halftime against the Utah Jazz at the United Center. Michael Jordan: No offense to the other former Bulls shooting guards, but when your the greatest player of all time, then that person earns a spot on this list. ![]() The other four players were great for the Bulls, but in my mind (even though he’s only played in four NBA Seasons), Derrick Rose is still the best point guard in Bulls history. Norm Van Lier was one of the best defensive point guards of All-Time (3 time 1st Team and 5 Times All Second Team NBA Defense) while still being a solid offensive point guard, John Paxson was apart of three championship teams (1991-1993) and hitting one of the biggest shots in Bulls history, and Ron Harper was one of the most underrated defenders of his ERA as on three different occasions he ranked in the top 10 in Steels in a season.Īs good as those players were for the Bulls, I decided to choose Rose because he’s the youngest player in NBA history to win an MVP Award (22), has already made 3 All-Star Teams, was the 2008-2009 Rookie of the Year Award Winner, and tied with Kareem Abdul Jabbar with scoring the most points in their first ever playoff game (36) in the TD Garden. Derrick Rose: There’ve been a lot of talented Bulls point guards through the years (Norm Van Lier, John Paxson, and Ron Harper to name a few) but none of those players compare to what Derrick Rose has done in his first four NBA Seasons. ![]()
