Bulls Regular-Season Home Opener vs. Washington Wizards

About This Event

The Bulls' home opener comes with a real rookie storyline this year: Chicago's own Caleb Wilson against the Wizards' No. 1 overall pick, AJ Dybantsa, in front of a United Center crowd that's shown up for home openers through every phase of the franchise's history, championship or rebuilding.

The Bulls have only existed since January 1966, but they became one of the most recognized sports franchises on the planet in under three decades. Six NBA championships between 1991 and 1998, two separate three-peats, all built around Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and coach Phil Jackson. The 1995-96 team won 72 games, an NBA record that stood for two full decades until Golden State finally beat it in 2015-16. They've played at the United Center since it opened in 1994, having spent their first 28 seasons at the old Chicago Stadium instead.
