Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen set to reunite on inaugural Ring of Honor Class an event that every Bulls fan is waiting. What will the outcome of this two legend meeting again be?
The Chicago Bulls, a franchise synonymous with NBA glory, recently released plans for their inaugural Ring of Honor, which will feature an outstanding class of 13 individuals, including the famous 1995-96 club that won the NBA title with a 72-10 record.
The iconic three of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman top this elite class.
The Bulls revealed the illustrious roster of honorees in a big presentation on Tuesday, a lineup that spans beyond players to prominent personalities who played crucial roles in the team's success.
Phil Jackson, Jerry Krause, Artis Gilmore, Jerry Sloan, Toni Kukoc, Bob Love, Chet Walker, Johnny "Red" Kerr, Tex Winter, and Dick Klein are among others in the class.
Phil Jackson's 1995-96 squad had an unrivaled roster that included Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and Kukoc.
"The Chicago Bulls Ring of Honor will be a first-of-its-kind celebration honoring many of the legends who have helped shape our organization over the past 57 years," Bulls President Michael Reinsdorf stated.
The January celebrations include a private banquet on Jan. 11 and a halftime presentation during the Jan. 12 game against the Golden State Warriors, who are coached by another '95-'96 Bulls teammate, Steve Kerr.
Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, whose relationship has been under question in recent years, have been invited to the festivities.
The exclusive event on January 11 will give the renowned couple a chance to reconcile.
This invitation follows their previous high-profile attendance in 2009 at a ceremony commemorating the late Johnny "Red" Kerr .The portrayal of the couple in the ESPN docuseries "The Last Dance" harmed their bond, which was crucial to the Bulls' six victories.
The Bull's Ring of Honor will become a biennial event, with the next class inducted in 2026.
The requirements for admission include players who have played for the club for at least three seasons and have been retired from basketball for at least three years.
