Beloved Bulls equipment manager Joe Lee started his career with the Chicago Zephyrs in 1962, and he was there right from the get-go when the Bulls franchise debuted in 1966. According to an obituary published on the Bulls website after Lee's death in 2014, "Joe Lee was a familiar figure to everyone, working the Bulls locker room and bench area for 48 years along with his hobby as a part time disc jockey and real jobs with the city, the Park District and later Streets and Sanitation. Joe would often also make mix tapes for the players from his DJ sideline." (The article shows an endearing photo of Lee standing beside Michael Jordan during a locker-room championship celebration.) 

This Jostens 14K-gold, size 13 ring was given to equipment manager Joe Lee after the Bulls' won their historic first championship in franchise history—and it is the most significant '90-'91 Bulls ring that has become publicly available to date. The diamond-accented showpiece rates NM and is accompanied by its deluxe "BULLS" presentation box (6-3/8" x 3-1/2" x 2-3/4") displaying a team logo on the underside of the lid, along with an interior plaque reading, "Chicago Bulls / NBA Champions / 1991 / Joe Lee."
