The Chicago Bulls have been credited with 6 NBA championships, 6 Eastern Conference titles, and 8 Midwest Division titles throughout its colorful existence. Such a remarkable record was made possible by the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah, and Derrick Rose. Despite bowing down to the Miami Heat for the 2011 season playoffs, expect the Bulls to be on the rampage once again as a new season starts.
For Chicago Bulls fans, nothing beats showing team loyalty than wearing authentic Chicago Bulls NBA jerseys. Blowing off $80 to $90 for genuine NBA jerseys is not an issue for the diehard fan. The question therefore, is out of the 15-man roster, which jersey would you be proud to wear in every Bulls game? Here are some excerpts from the fact file to help in choosing NBA jerseys and know your favorite player better:
Omer Asik. Dubbed the "Turkish Hammer" and "Asik and Destroy", he is the Bulls' latest addition to its roster, Omar Asik was a former player from the Turkish Basketball League and the Turkish National Basketball Team. He was initially drafted by the Portland Trailblazers in 2008 but was traded off to Chicago Bulls in 2010.
Taj Gibson. Although the Bulls management opted to let Carlos Boozer lead the charge as a power forward, the decision never affected Taj Gibson's resolve, effectively manning the power forward position for the first 15 games as Boozer succumbed to a hand injury before the 2010-2011 season started.
Luol Deng. The 2010-2011 season was an remarkable one for Luol Deng. Known among his teammates as the "backbone" and "glue" that holds everyone together, he is known for his professionalism and commitment to the team. His experience in going toe-to-toe with the likes of LeBron James and other NBA superstars makes him a force to be reckoned with for seasons to come.
Carlos Boozer. He started out his NBA career in 2002, eventually signing up for the Chicago Bulls in 2010. Recognized for his strength, rebounding, and offensive skills, Carlos Boozer is also an ambidextrous shooter. His remarkable slam dunks and hook shoots made his absence for the first half of the season worth the wait.
Joakim Noah. He has been a regular fan favorite due to his fast-paced and daring hardcourt moves. In terms of defense, this 6-foot 11-inch powerhouse keeps the center well-defended. However, his impressive skills were hampered by injury during the 2010-2011 season. For the upcoming season, expect more of Joachim Noah.
Derrick Rose. He is Chicago Bulls' ace player and his phenomenal rise to NBA superstardom is beyond question. The 2009 NBA Rookie of the Year and 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player finished the season with a game average of 27.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists. Such a fantastic performance just proves that Derrick Rose deserves wearing Jersey #1 for the Bulls.
