3. Artis Gilmore

After the selections of Jordan and Pippen, it does not become as easy to rank the greatest Bulls of all-time.  But that makes it all the more fun, doesn't it?

The Chicago Bulls took Gilmore with their Seventh Round Pick in 1971, but this was not a slight on Gilmore's skill, but rather that they knew he would sign with the ABA instead.  The Center joined the Kentucky Colonels, where he played for five seasons before the ABA was absorbed into the NBA, sans the Colonels, who folded and had their players dispersed.  Who got Gilmore?  The Bulls took him first overall in that specific draft.

Gilmore would not be an MVP like he was in the ABA, but this was still an elite Center.  Playing for the Bulls for six years, Gilmore was an All-Star four times.  With the Bulls, Gilmore consistently kept his rebounding in double digits, and he was still a good scorer, with his worst season in Chicago at 17.8 PPG and a peak of 23.7.  Gilmore led the NBA in Field Goal Percentage in 1980-81 & 1981-82, but that would be his last two years as a Bull…well, not really.

Chicago traded Gilmore to San Antonio, but he was traded back in 1987. Gilmore only played 24 Games before being waived.  Gilmore joined Boston for the rest of the year and was in Europe after.

With the Bulls, Gilmore posted averages of 19.3 Points, 11.1 Rebounds, and 2.1 Blocks per Game.  The Basketball Hall of Fame called his name in 2011.

2. Scottie Pippen

Choosing Michael Jordan as the greatest Chicago Bull of all time was the easiest decision we have ever made.  It was almost as easy to anoint Scottie Pippen as number two.

In 1976, the New Orleans Saints drafted Running Back, Chuck Muncie, in the First Round.  With their Second Round Pick, they took another Running Back, Tony Galbreath, from the University of Missouri.

The New Orleans Saints executed patience with Jon Stinchcomb, who played only 10 Games in his first two seasons after being a 2003 Second Round Pick from Georgia.  Stinchcomb did not play at all in 2005, due to a knee injury, and it appeared that there might be a bust on their hands.  Stinchcomb would not have agreed with that assessment, and he won the starting Right Tackle job in 2006.
