Former Chicago Bulls power forward Jason Caffey was selected 20th overall in the 1995 NBA Draft and would win two NBA titles while coming off of the bench for the star-laden Bulls that were led by Hall of Famers Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. Caffey would spend his first two seasons in the NBA, averaging a respectable 7.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists during the 1996-97 season that saw the Bulls finish with a record of 69-13, just narrowly missing the 70-game mark for the second season in a row. The Bulls would go on to dispatch the Washington Bullets in three straight games in the first round, defeat the Atlanta Hawks in five games in the semifinals, and dispose of the Miami Heat in five games to head to their second consecutive NBA Finals. The Bulls would face regular season MVP Karl Malone and the Utah Jazz in the Finals, with the Bulls capturing their second consecutive title and their fifth title in seven years.
