There are many miracles in the history of the NBA, and many inspirational stories. This season, Thomas Jr. returned to the NBA league and showed the story of the little man's counterattack. And in the 15-16 season, the Cavaliers also created a team miracle, they completed the comeback after falling behind 3-1 in the finals, and finally won the championship inspirational story. In the history of the NBA, there is such a team, they completed a 62-20 record last season, became the first in the East, and won the championship in the Finals, and in the second season, they only achieved a 13-37 record, becoming the bottom of the league, from the championship to the bottom of the league in only 50 games.
In the 1997-1998 season, the Bulls completed their second three-game championship under the leadership of Jordan, Pippen and others. This is the second time since Jordan's first comeback that he has led the Bulls to complete three consecutive championships. That year, Jordan and his Bulls had a 62-20 record in the regular season, and the Bulls became the first in the East, and the Jazz, who was the first in the West at that time, also played the same record.
Throughout the playoffs, the Bulls defeated the Nets, Hornets, and Pacers, while in the Western Conference, the Jazz defeated the Rockets in the first round and the Spurs in the second round, and swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference finals. In the end, the fateful teams of the Bulls and Jazz met again in the Finals. It was the second year in a row that they met in the Finals, with the Bulls eventually beating the Jazz 4-2 to claim their sixth championship, and Jordan was named the Most Valuable Player in the Finals that year. And after winning the championship that year, the invincible Jordan announced his retirement again, and this retreat made the entire Bulls become the bottom of the East for four consecutive seasons.
In the offseason, after Jordan retired, the Bulls began a massive rebuild, and players such as Pippen, Rodman, Longley and Kukoc left the Bulls one after another. In the absence of stars, the Bulls dynasty fell rapidly. In the 98-99 season, the Bulls had a 13-37 record, and that season, because of the league's salary agreement issues, caused a collective strike in the NBA league, which lasted for 129 days. As a result, the number of games dropped to 50 games, and the Bulls had the lowest record in the East, third from the bottom in the league, and the Grizzlies and Nuggets in first and second place.
Since Jordan's retirement, the Bulls have been at the bottom of the East almost every year, and have been the bottom for four consecutive years, and after missing the playoffs for six consecutive years, after the 04-05 season, the Bulls are back to the playoffs again. The Bulls also set a new record after Jordan's retirement, becoming the fastest-declining team in NBA history, going from 62 wins to 13 league wins in just 50 games to finish at the bottom of the league with 13 wins in their second season.
