Basketball Team
The Chicago Bulls are an American professional basketball team based in Chicago, Illinois. The Bulls are a member of the Central Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association. The team was founded on January 16, 1966. The team play their home games at the United Center, an arena shared with the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League. The Bulls saw their greatest success during the 1990s. They are known for having one of the NBA's greatest dynasties, winning six NBA championships between 1991 and 1998 with two three-peats. All six championship teams were led by Hall of Famers Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and coach Phil Jackson. The Bulls are the only NBA franchise to win multiple championships and never lose an NBA Finals in their history. The National Basketball Association announced on May 3, 2011 that Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose was the winner of the Maurice Podoloff Trophy as the 2010-11 Kia Most Valuable Player Award. At 22 years old, Rose was the youngest MVP in NBA history (22 years-191 days on the final day of the regular season; previously Wes Unseld in 1969, 23 years-9 days). Rose also became the second Bull to win the award, as he joined five-time winner Michael Jordan as the only Bulls to be named league MVP in team history.
