<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The premier reference for making Chicago Bulls fandom a lifestyle instead of just a sports preference, this collection of essential team knowledge and Bulls-related activities distills the past 50 years of NBA basketball into a fun checklist that will appeal to fans of any age. It's one thing to have been to the United Center and rooted for Derrick Rose, to relish highlights of a young Michael Jordan, or even to know that all six championship teams were led by Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Coach Phil Jackson. But it is a whole other level of fan commitment to know who Benny the Bull is named after, which player once grabbed 37 rebounds in a single game, and how the Bulls missed out on Magic Johnson in the draft. These facts and trivia--as well as important dates, player nicknames, key jersey numbers through history, and even the best places to eat before or after a game--are included in this resource that will enlighten new fans and initiate them into proper Bulls fandom, or remind die-hard fans why theirs is the team to follow year after year.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kent McDill</b> is a sportswriter for NBA.com and has been a journalist for more than 30 years, including covering the Chicago Bulls beat for the <i>Daily Herald</i>, traveling with the team from 1988 to 1999, and being the only beat writer to cover all six championship teams.
