The Chicago Bulls were a lottery team in the early 1980s. However, in 1984, history was about to change forever, when Michael Jordan made his way from North Carolina. Jordan soon became one of the all-time greats of the game, taking over a complete era, and the city of Chicago changed forever.

The NBA was dominated by Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, an era that had run in the league for many years. The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers heading the show. However, as His Airness came in, he announced himself. There even came a time he told the arch-rivals he is the new ‘Sheriff’.

While the Bulls had no idea of the power in their hand, they put their faith in MJ. Likewise, a 7-year, $6.3 million came into the works. And NBA fans run wild remembering the iconic day in basketball history.

The entry of Michael Jordan

With the third pick in the draft, Jordan began his journey to become a legend. In his seven-year multi-year deal, Chicago Bulls had brought themselves six championships for the future. From there, he instantly made the franchise become postseason contenders. Becoming one of the most elite scorers in NBA in his very first season, it would soon become an era.
