The formidable trio, widely considered as the pinnacle of NBA greatness, will stand united in the inaugural Chicago Bulls Ring of Honor.

Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman headline the illustrious list of 13 former Bulls to be immortalized, alongside the legendary 1995-96 Chicago team, famed for clinching 72 regular-season victories and an NBA championship.

Integral to the success of the historic 72-win Bulls, Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman will share the spotlight with four other luminaries associated with what many regard as the greatest team in NBA annals. The revered quartet includes Phil Jackson, the team’s revered head coach, esteemed player Toni Kukoc, astute general manager Jerry Krause, and tactical genius assistant coach Tex Winter.

With six NBA titles in the 1990s, achieved through two separate three-peats from 1991-93 and 1996-98, Chicago’s basketball dynasty remains unparalleled. The induction ceremony, set for halftime during the Bulls’ clash against the Golden State Warriors on January 12, promises to be a momentous occasion.

The selection of this particular game seems deliberate, as it welcomes a non-inductee member of those iconic Bulls championship squads, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, adding an extra layer of significance.

Chicago’s commitment to heritage is evident in its plans to enrich its Ring of Honor every two years, ensuring that the legacy of greatness continues to be celebrated. This inaugural induction marks the beginning of a tradition that will echo through the annals of basketball history.
