NBA basketball team season (won championship)
NBA professional basketball team season
The 1995–96 NBA season was the Bulls' 30th season in the National Basketball Association .[1] During the off-season, the Bulls acquired controversial All-Star forward and rebound specialist Dennis Rodman from the San Antonio Spurs ,[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] and signed free agents Randy Brown and James Edwards .[7] [8] [9] At midseason, the team signed John Salley , who was previously released by the expansion Toronto Raptors ; Rodman, Edwards and Salley were all teammates on the Detroit Pistons during the "Bad Boy" era, where they won two straight championships in 1989 and 1990.[10] [11] The Bulls had the best team offensive rating and the best team defensive rating in the NBA.
Widely regarded as the greatest team in NBA history, the 1995–96 Bulls were named one of the
Top 10 Teams in NBA History during the celebration of the league's 50th anniversary in 1996.
[12] The team set the
record for most wins in an NBA regular season in which they won the championship, finishing with 72 wins and 10 losses.
The
2015–16 Golden State Warriors set a new milestone by finishing with a 73-9 regular season record, surpassing the previous record set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. However, despite their remarkable performance, the team ultimately fell short in the
2016 NBA Finals .
[13] Notably, the Warriors' head coach,
Steve Kerr , had a significant link to the 1995-96 Bulls team, having previously played as a point guard for the Bulls during that time.
The Bulls' started 37–0 at home, part of a then-NBA-record 44-game winning streak that included games from the 1994–95 regular-season.[14] Their 33 road wins were the most in NBA history until the 2015–16 Warriors won 34 road games. The season was the best 3-loss start in NBA history at 41–3 (.932), which included an 18-game winning streak for the team.[15] The team also went undefeated in January with a 14–0 record,[16] and held a 42–5 record at the All-Star break.[17] The Bulls became the first NBA team to ever win 70 regular season games, finishing first overall in their division, conference, and the entire NBA, and posted a league best 39–2 home record.[18] They are also the only team in NBA history to win more than 70 games and an NBA title in the same season.

New Jersey Nets on March 16, 1996,
[32] [33] [34] [35] and Croatian small forward
Toni Kukoč played a sixth man role, averaging 13.1 points per game off the bench, and was named Sixth Man of the Year.

The Bulls swept the
For the season, the Bulls added new black alternate road uniforms with red pinstripes.[65] Eventually, they would remove the pinstripes from their jerseys in 1997 .[66]
Off-season
Before the 1995–96 NBA season , the Bulls acquired Dennis Rodman and Jack Haley from the Spurs in exchange for Will Perdue and cash considerations to fill a void at power forward left by Horace Grant , who left the Bulls before the 1994–95 NBA season .[67]
In his book Bad as I Wanna Be ,[citation needed ] Rodman wrote that Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen had to approve the trade. Rodman chose the number 91 (9+1=10 according to Rodman for why he chose that number) for his jersey since #10 was retired by the Bulls in 1995 in honor of Bob Love .
Haley played in one game, the final game of the regular season, and didn't participate in the playoffs. He was best known for his friendship with the enigmatic Rodman.[68]

Regular season
November
double-doubles
in November 1995.
The Bulls began the 1995–96 season on November 3 against the
double-double performance by Pippen who recorded 17 points and 10 rebounds. Jordan also scored 23 points and grabbed 7 rebounds for the Bulls
[74] Following their first loss of the season, Chicago bounced back to defeat Cleveland on November 15.
[75] The Bulls would continue their winning ways by defeating the
New Jersey Nets on November 17. Toni Kukoc recorded a game-high 19 points and 7 assists for the Bulls.
[76]
The Bulls went on a road trip to play against seven
Trailblazers. Jordan led all scorers with 33 points to go along with 8 assists, as the Bulls won, 107–104.
[81] In their last game of the month, the Bulls went to Canada to play against the
Vancouver Grizzlies and defeated them, 94–88.
[82]
December
Chicago's road trip ended in Los Angeles on December 2 after defeating the
L.A. Lakers, 108–88.
[89] Two days after, Jordan and Pippen both scored 37 points as they fueled the Bulls towards their 20th win of the season, after beating the Celtics, 123–114.
[90]
January
The Bulls went undefeated in January.
February
The Bulls continued their success in February, winning 11 of 14 of the games played this month. And also, this is their first and only time they have lost back-to-back games for the whole season. On February 4, they had been defeated by the
Miami Heat. The Heat, guided by Rex Chapman who shot 9-for-10 from 3-point range, proved too much to be handled by the visiting Bulls. With this loss, the Bulls now have lost 6 games for the whole season, and all 6 of those games are on the road.
[91]
March
The Bulls added 2 of their final 10 losses in March:[92]
On Sunday, March 10, they were blown out 104–72 in Madison Square Garden by Ewing's Knicks – their largest margin of defeat on the season.
Two weeks later, they dropped a game at the hands of the expansion Raptors, 109–108. Damon Stoudamire posted an efficient 30-point, 11-assist effort to lead Toronto.
