8. Dwyane Wade

I know. This is a weird one. Dwyane Wade played only one season with the Bulls, and it was a way-past-his-prime season. But it was still incredibly fun to have a guy with his legendary past come to Chicago and try to make something work. Not to mention, he’s from Chicago.

Even though Wade was old, sort of out of shape, and inefficient, he still put up 18/5/4 per game. Not too shabby.

7. Taj Gibson

Taj Gibson will go down as one of the all-time fan-favorite Bulls players. For years, he did nothing but win games. No drama, no baggage — nothing bad at all. The only reason he ranks so low on this list is because he wasn’t a traditionally fun guy to watch. He didn’t do anything fancy. He was just a fundamental, team-first power forward.

It was fun to watch those Bulls team win games, though, and Taj was a huge reason why we were able to do that.
