The Chicago Bulls, led by NBA legend Michael Jordan, was undoubtedly a global sensation. Among them was Luc Longley, a former Bulls player, who remembers about their journey during an interview recently.

The Bulls’ fame had no borders and had fans worldwide. But this particular interaction with a monk truly humbled the team.

The Global Sensation: Michael Jordan and Bulls take the world by storm

Recently, the former Australian pro sat down for an interview to recall a journey through the years. Longley was asked about the fandom around the Bulls in MJ’s era. To that, he said in the interview, “Um, I mean describing frenzied crowds at hotels and people lining the freeway as our bus drives down to win our 70th game… and going to arenas that are normally half full and having a place chock-a-block; that’s one way of describing it.”

Back in the day, every time the Bulls played, massive crowds gathered to fill arenas. During the interview, Longley also revealed his favorite story from his time with the Chicago-based outfit. He revealed, “But my favorite way of describing it was that Phil had a video room and he had a photo on the wall. The story goes that this guy had gone to Tibet to do a pilgrimage and had walked for three days into the middle of nowhere.”

Monk’s message strikes a chord with the team

The photo on the wall was of a monk in traditional attire, wearing a Bulls hat. The monk symbolized the idea that no matter where they went, people were watching and admiring their basketball journey.

“The message was that everywhere on the planet, people are watching you. This is one of the biggest sports stories on the planet because of Michael Jordan’s star power and the team’s amazing playing style,” Longley revealed.

The Bulls’ eye-catching style of play, alongside a star-studded roster, made them global celebrities. They were followed by fans worldwide. He also said, “We were playing a brand of basketball that people love to watch and having a ball doing it.”
