Jordan was the third pick in the 1984 NBA Draft.

He spent the first 13 years of his career with the Bulls.

In that span, the team won six NBA Championships.

The Bulls have been unable to have much success since Jordan left the franchise in 1998.

Right now, they are the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 22-33 record in 55 games.
