How to Be a Chicago Bulls Fan

The Chicago Bulls are one of the world's most recognizable franchises. During the 1990s the Bulls won six championships while making history and breaking records. It was because of Michael Jordan and the rest of the Bulls' cast of characters that they once went a single-season record 72-10 in 1995-1996. With history like that, it is no doubt why people want to be Chicago Bulls fans.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. The first thing every Bulls fan should have is the NBA Dynasty Series: Chicago Bulls - The 1990s DVDs. Whether you lived through the dynasty or a new fan who needs a bit of a history lesson, these DVDs are a must have. Each disc contains a movie that tells the story of a particular season on one side. The flip side contains the championship clinching game in its entirety.
2. Get some gear. Whether it is a hat, t-shirt, sweatshirt, or jersey, every fan should have something to show the world that he supports the Chicago Bulls. Now, if you are in sports bar, on your own couch, at the game or in Timbuktu, everyone will know that you are a fan.
3. Go to a game. The United Center almost always sells out, and is a great place to see a basketball game. Activities during stoppage time keep fans of all ages entertained throughout the game, and Benny the Bull is sure to keep the energy high.
4. Stay with the Bulls through thick and thin. There were some dark times and disappointing seasons following the 1990s dynasty. Unremarkable players came and went, but the team finally made it back to the playoffs. Nobody likes a fair weather fan, and management usually wants to repay their loyal fans with winning teams.

Tips & Warnings

• Pick a favorite player. The team is even more fun to watch if you have someone in particular that you like.
• Dream up ridiculous trade scenarios. This will provide hours of discussion with your friends on how the Bulls can improve.
• Being a Chicago Bulls fan, or any sports fan in general, may cause heartbreak. Be prepared.
