Throughout basketball history, there have been many amazing players to be a part of the NBA. The NBA, also known as the National Basketball Association, is not only the foremost men’s professional basketball league in North America, but is also widely considered to be the top-ranking men’s professional basketball league in the world. One of the most controversial topics in the history of NBA today is whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the best player to ever be a part of this association. James began his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers and currently plays for the Miami Heat. Jordan played for the Chicago Bulls for most of his career; however, he played for the Washington Wizard’s from age 38 to 40. According to the New York Times, Jordan announced his retirement in Chicago on January 13th of 1999 (D8). Although LeBron James is one of the best players to be currently active in the league, Michael Jordan is known to be the best player in NBA history. Both player, without a doubt, have left a mark in the history of NBA, Michael Jordan, indisputably, is the best player to ever play in the NBA with his unstoppable defensive and offensive ability along with the determination and leadership he provided for his team.

When everyone thinks of the Chicago Bulls, they think of greatness. How could you not? The entire decade of the 1990s was all about the Chicago Bulls. Their star player Michael Jordan was easily the most popular athlete in the world, the franchise won 6 NBA championships in eight years, and they were easily recognized as the greatest team ever, owning a then-record 72-win season. They were at the peak of their fame as easily the most recognized team in the world. However, Michael Jordan called it quits after their sixth championship which began a long gradual decline for 20 years. In that time, they have not won any championships or even appeared in the Finals. Now, we have the newest edition of the team, the 2017-2018 Chicago Bulls. After trading three players with all-star experience before the season began, They left their team that is now a bunch of inexperienced players. Despite claims that they are a young team that will get better, I believe that the Chicago Bulls are the worst team in the NBA for now because of a lack of all-star caliber players and their terrible in-game performances.

Phillip Jackson is known as one of the best NBA head coaches of all time due to he had to lead the Chicago Bulls to six titles and the Los Angeles Lakers to three titles. Before Phil became known as a great head coach, he was an ordinary athlete. Jackson recruited to North Dakota University basketball team. While attending the college, he helped his team win third-and-fourth-place finishes in the NCAA Division II championships. Coach Jackson understands the only collecting a set of outstanding players will not make a championship team. His approach was the problem or project having components in four different spheres which are Mental, logical, scientific, technical and Systems or how the parts all connect and interact,.Emotional, feelings, intuition, and.Ethical, spiritual and issues of being. Phil Jackson assumes the players have the technical and techniques. Therefore he emphasizes the spiritual in developing the team. Jackson had seven feet plus a former pro player to coach other physical specimens in the finer points of connection magnificent setting. The most important was to understand that the individuals on the team must transform their view of themselves to connect to others to create a synergy of teamwork.

The Chicago Bulls have been in Chicago, Illinois since 1966 when they joined the NBA as an expansion team.

The Chicago Bulls since when they first started playing at Chicago Stadium dubbed "Madhouse on Madison" they were winning games and making it to the playoffs. The Bulls did run into a slump stretching from 1976 till about 1989. Their slump turned around when the Bulls hired Phil Jackson to be the new head coach after going through 6 coaches before Jackson. They also had acquired top players such as: Michael Jordan in 1984, Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant in 1987. The Bulls were rebuilding their team and making a plan to keep them from losing revenue and fans.

The Bulls once again made the playoffs, for the second consecutive season in the 2009–10 season,while finishing off with a 41–41 record sitting right at .500. In the playoffs Rose averaged 26.8 points and 7.2 assists, but the Bulls lost in five games to the Might Cleveland Cavaliers led by the Bulls worst memory...Lebron James.

The 76ers early history was victorious and made the city of Philadelphia something to be excited about. The 76ers won two championships as the Syracuse Nationals, with superstar Wilt Chamberlain. He was the first and only player to score 100 points in an NBA game. Later, when they became the 76ers, they acquired Hall of Famers Charles Barkley, Julius Erving, and MVP Moses Malone. They won the NBA Finals in the 1982-1983 season, sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers. Furthermore, the 76ers had a great time of history from 1976-1987, going to the NBA Finals four times and winning once. Winning times came to an end as from 1992 to 1996, the 76ers never had a winning season. This time was known as the “Dark Ages.” During this time, they were absolutely a team to laugh

Leading the Bulls to another three-peat Jordan retired a second time in 1999 ending his career on a high note. Labor disputes between NBA players and team owners, and the eventual breakup of the Bulls dynasty were the reasons he called it quits. After a brief hiatus from basketball Jordan returned to the NBA in 2000 not as a player, but as part owner and president of basketball operations for the Washington Wizards. His record as the president of the Washington Wizards was horrendous. His time running the Wizards began in 2000, and he had the final say in personnel matters, such as drafting mega-bust Kwame Brown with the number one pick in 2001. Seeing the rise of young stars like Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, and Tracy Mcgrady, and the decline of his status as a player Jordan decided he wanted to return to the court. The next year he began comeback number three. After two disappointing seasons with the Wizards Jordan retired for the last time in 2003. Assuming he would get his job back as the team president, but after doing such a terrible job at team management and evaluating talent team owner Abe Pollin dismissed Jordan. In his three-plus seasons as an executive and player with the Washington Wizards, Jordan's teams were 110-179.
