Surprise, Surprise!

Well, you knew it was coming. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen formed the greatest duo in basketball history. Jordan was drafted in 1984 and took the league by storm. After a couple of seasons, the Bulls were looking for a partner for Jordan and found Pippen in 1987 when they made a trade with the Seattle SuperSonics. The duo was unstoppable for almost a decade.

They made their first Conference Finals appearance in 1989 when they lost in six games to eventual champions Detroit Pistons. The next season, they lost again in the Conference Finals, this time in seven games.This was just the beginning.

The duo finally took the monkey off their back the following season when they beat the Lakers 4-1 to win their and Chicago's first NBA title. The followed it up with two more in as many years giving them their first three-peat. Jordan took a two-year break from the game in 1994 and 1995. Hence the Bulls didn't make the Finals during that time.

When he came back, they won three in a row once again thereby making it six out of eight seasons. Jordan was named finals MVP each time and retired again in 1998. Many people believe that if Jordan had stayed on in those two seasons, they would have made in eight titles in as many years.

Jordan won the season MVP on five occasions and Defensive Player of the Year once while Pippen was a seven-time All-star.
