Before we get to those memorable '96-97 Bulls, we must first address the earlier Bulls -- the team that brought home a second title during the Jordan era in Chicago. This was Jordan's eighth season and the second of his five MVP seasons.

MJ averaged 30.1 points (on 51.9% from the field), 6.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.3 steals in 38.8 minutes a game. He wasn't alone in putting up big numbers, though, as Scottie Pippen racked up 21 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.0 assists in 38.6 minutes in his own right.

The duo, along with head coach Phil Jackson, led the team to 67 wins and a margin of victory of 10.44. When all was said and done, the team ranked first in offensive rating (115.5) and fourth in defensive rating (104.5), culminating in a SRS of 10.07.

Chicago tallied 17 wins to just seven losses in their playoff run, ultimately defeating the Portland Trail Blazers in the Finals 4-2. Naturally, Jordan added another Finals MVP to his trophy case after scoring an average of 35.8 points on 52.6% shooting, 42.9% from three, and 89.1% at the line.
