The Chicago Bulls won three straight NBA titles (from 1990-91 through the 1992-93 season) before Michael Jordan abruptly – and shockingly – retired from the game of basketball. Returning for a full season during the 1995-96 campaign, Jordan and the Bulls were on a mission to reclaim their stake as league champions. They succeeded in historic fashion. Under head coach Phil Jackson, Chicago finished the regular season with a record of 72-10, as Jordan led the league in scoring, averaging 30.4 points per game. Scottie Pippen averaged 19.4 PPG, while Dennis Rodman recorded a league-best 14.9 rebounds per contest. The Bulls stormed through the playoffs, going a combined 15-3, on their way to another NBA championship, defeating the Seattle SuperSonics in the NBA Finals.
