Wilbur Holland had a unique basketball career, taken in the Fifth Round out of the University of New Orleans in 1975. The team that took him, Atlanta, waived him at seasons' end, and Holland received an opportunity with the Chicago Bulls.

In his first two seasons in the National Football League, the Fifth Round Pick from Iowa started eight Games at Left Corner Back and five at Strong Safety.  Hanks did well enough, but he was moved to Free Safety in 1993, and this was the position where he would flourish.

The first Australian to make the NBA, Luc Longley played his first two years and change before he was dealt to the Chicago Bulls during the 1993-94 season, or as better known, Michael Jordan's baseball era.

The Division II Player of the Year from Virginia Union, Charles Oakley, was selected with the Ninth Overall Pick in the 1985 Draft by the Chicago Bulls.  It was in Chicago where "Oak" became one of the most infamous players in the game.
