With the news that the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo will feature 3-on-3 basketball as a sport, we took a look and built a roster to represent the Chicago Bulls.

Earlier this week, reports came in that 3-on-3 basketball is going to become an official sport in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

So, that got us thinking a little bit.

Let’s say that the Chicago Bulls put together a 3-on-3 side to represent at the Olympics to try and win the gold medal. What would that team look like?

There’s a few stipulations on the roster selections:

Unlike our all-time Bulls draft of the past, you can only select a player one time. (That means no 1988-89 Michael Jordan and 1991-92 Michael Jordan on the same roster.)

It needed at least one player from the current Bulls roster on the team (and no, you can’t go back and pick a younger version of Dwyane Wade).

The roster was five players and an alternate because of course, players back out of the Olympics every year (or four years if we’re being specific).

So, with that being said, here’s our roster of Chicago Bulls that would represent the Bulls at the 2020 Olympic Games.

Pick No. 1: Michael Jordan (Captain’s pick)

I mean, was there any doubt who the first pick for this Olympic roster was going to be? Whenever you do an all-time Bulls anything, the line starts with Michael Jordan. It basically has to.

There’s really no explanation needed as to why Jordan is on this roster. During his time in Chicago as the third overall pick of the Bulls in the 1984 NBA Draft, Jordan won six NBA titles, five NBA MVP awards and became the greatest player in the history of the sport and one of the greatest athletes of all-time.

Jordan played 1,072 career games in the NBA (930 of those were with the Bulls), made the All-Star Game 14 times, the All-Defensive First Team nine times and became one of four players (Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson) to win the Defensive Player of the Year award and the NBA MVP award in their careers. Jordan and Olajuwon are the only players in NBA history to win the awards in the same season.

The Bulls would obviously need his scoring, but his defense on multiple positions would be vital for this team in terms of winning the gold medal.
