3. Chicago Bulls

The Bulls land so high on this list for two reasons — Michael Jordan and Derrick Rose. It’s not a jealousy thing by any means, it’s that those from Chicago defend their guys so blindly, it’s as if nothing bad has or will ever happen under any circumstances. Jordan fell into their lap and changed the history of the franchise and the NBA and the fans act as if they discovered him in a backyard gym in Europe somewhere.

As far as Rose is concerned, don’t say anything bad about the Golden Child or else you will get spammed, swore at and hacked. It seems that only Jeremy Lin has more keyboard warriors defending him. Nobody wanted Rose to be hurt and the league is better off with him completely healthy, but he’s not a likable guy. He’s blue-collar, which is only a desirable trait if you are also blue-collar.

The Bulls have run headlong into LeBron James more than once and their answer to whether he is one of the greatest of all-time is that he’ll “never be Jordan.” That should tell you a lot. They’re living in the past and they’re never going to let the rest of the league forget about Jordan. Thank God social media didn’t exist back then because we’d all have used hot pokers on our eyes and ears.
