1984–85 Chicago Bulls season

NBA professional basketball team season

NBA professional basketball team season

  • Rod Thorn (through March 26, 1985)
  • Jerry Krause (after March 26, 1985) (lost to Bucks 1–3) (Milo Hamilton, Johnny “Red” Kerr) Sportsvision (Bill Hazen, John Mengelt) (Jim Durham, Dave Baum)

The 1984–85 Chicago Bulls season was the 19th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In the summer of 1984, the team's fortunes changed when it received the third pick of the NBA draft, after Houston and Portland. The Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon, the Blazers selected Sam Bowie, and the Bulls picked shooting guard Michael Jordan out of the University of North Carolina. The team, with new management in owner Jerry Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause in the front office, decided to rebuild around Jordan. Jordan set franchise records during his rookie campaign for scoring (3rd in the league) and steals (4th in the league), and led the Bulls back to the playoffs, for which he was rewarded with a berth on the All-NBA second team and NBA Rookie of the Year Award.
