Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Chicago Bulls.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Bulls did not have a good year, but its core three all elevated their rankings. 

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Michael Jordan
2. Scottie Pippen
3. Artis Gilmore
4. Chet Walker
5. Horace Grant

You can find the entire list here.

Zach LaVine advanced to #15 from #18.

Guard DeMar DeRozan concluded three seasons with the Bulls (now with Sacramento) and rocketed up to #18 from #31.

Nikola Vucevic advanced from #36 to #32

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, so this results in a long push to revise what we already have; specifically, now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the fourth ten of the 2024 Basketball List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 31 to 40:

31. Larry Nance
32. Sam Cassell
33. Horace Grant
34. Eddie Jones
35. Ron Boone
36. Gene Shue
37. Joakim Noah
38. Stephon Marbury
39. A.C. Green
40. Hersey Hawkins

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

1. Michael Jordan

2. Scottie Pippen

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Chicago Bulls. 

The Chicago Bulls were founded in 1966, bringing Basketball to the Windy City far later than it should have.

For most fans, the Bulls history really did not begin until they drafted Michael Jordan.  The drafting of M.J. changed everything, and he would take them to a pair of "three-peats," which will be forever celebrated, as it should be.

Chicago has not made the Finals since Jordan’s departure.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NBA.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2019-20 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Michael Jordan

2. Scottie Pippen

3. Artis Gilmore

4. Chet Walker

5. Horace Grant

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.  

Look for our more material coming soon!

As always we thank you for your support.

5. Horace Grant

Horace Grant was the 1987 ACC Player of the Year when he played at Clemson, and that allowed him to be a First Round Pick (10thOverall) by the Bulls.

38. Horace Grant

Horace Grant was not a stat accumulator; he was a winner.  After a stellar career at Clemson University where he was named ACC MVP, Grant was selected as the tenth pick of the 1987 draft.  Grant was a key member of the first three title runs the Bulls had in the early 90's.  He was the 3rd option on offense but was really their main low post defender.  A very athletic power forward that could bang with the big guys and run with smaller guys, Grant would become the prototype that others would follow.
