Top 10 Chicago Bulls of the decade

Not everyone in the league can say they’ve played for the Chicago Bulls, and a smaller sample can claim to be one of the best to suit up for them.

Here is a look at the top 10 Chicago Bulls of the decade.

As 2019 comes to an end, it only makes sense to take a step back and reflect upon the faces of the franchise.

The Bulls’ roster, like any team, has seen its share of changes over time–some worth noting, some worth forgetting. What can’t be disputed is how each star has impacted the franchise’s present and future.

At the same time, sometimes the Bulls had to lose stars in order to understand how valuable they are. Making a long-term contractual commitment is a huge deal. Trusting the process is nothing new for the Bulls. Now, in the third of year of their rebuild, the Bulls are learning how important it is to invest in the stars who make for the best fit to the system.

While some Bulls find themselves reveling in the role as the face of the franchise, others have taken great pride in being the heart and soul of the team. It’s no question that being a top Bull and being the team’s leading scorer are not always synonymous. What’s important, after all, is the impression a Bull leaves the organization and its fan base. As such, ranking the top 10 Bulls of the decade is not as easy of a task as it may seem at first glance.

Among the stars having a notable impact to the team are Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng, Zach LaVine, Lauri Markkanen, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, Bobby Portis, Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich.

Without further ado, let’s take a close look at the top 10 Bulls of the decade.
