NBA: Chicago Bulls' All-Time starting 5

Forward – Jerry Sloan

Jerry Sloan

Selected in the 1966 expansion draft, Jerry Sloan was the first great player for the Bulls. He spent ten years in Chicago and he was named an All-Star twice. He was also one of the best defenders of his era with four All-Defensive First Team and two All-Defensive Second Team selections.

Sloan sits fourth in total games played, fifth in points and rebounds in franchise history. Due to all of his accomplishments, his No. 4 was the first jersey retired by the team. But despite his solid playing career, Sloan is more popular as the longtime head coach of the Utah Jazz.

Honourable Mention: Chet Walker

In six seasons with the Bulls, Chet Walker helped the team reach the playoffs six times. In the Bulls’ all-time leaderboards, he ranks sixth in scoring and third in total free throws made. Along with his first seven years with the Philadelphia 76ers, Walker earned his place in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
