Thanks to Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and the '90s Chicago Bulls, the franchise is a hallmark sports organization known all across the world.
Jordan and the Bulls won six NBA championships during the '90s and never lost. MJ won all six Finals MVPs and helped turn Chicago into the most popular sports team maybe of all-time.
Since the Bulls turned into an iconic franchise, the team has seen plenty of celebrities come through the United Center doors sporting Chicago gear. For this piece, we'll be taking a look at the most famous Bulls celebrity fans ever.
Barack Obama
The former president was born in Hawaii but raised in Chicago. He's an avid Bulls fan and has been to a number of games at the United Center.
Former Bulls stars Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah were able to develop a rapport with Obama during their run with Chicago.
Kanye West
A Chicago native and legend, Kanye has been to a bunch of Bulls games. He's sat next to Pippen a few times courtside.
West showed up for a 2015 playoff game vs. LeBron James and Cleveland and delivered an impromptu performance of his single “All Day” during a first-quarter timeout. It was pretty legendary at the time.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah used to tape her show in Chicago. She went to plenty of games during the '90s and was able to experience the championship years.
Chance the Rapper
Chance is from Chicago just like Kanye. He's close friends with Rose and has been to hundreds of Bulls games.
When Rose and Noah returned to the United Center as visitors with the New York Knicks during the 2016-17 season, the Bulls played one of Chance's songs as the tribute music.
Bill Murray
Murray is well known for being a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan but he's been known to catch a Bulls game from time to time.
He also played alongside Jordan in the first Space Jam movie, so the comedian will always sort of be linked to the Bulls.
Vince Vaughn
The Chicago actor is best known for his passion for hockey and being a Blackhawks supporter.
However, Vaughn has been a fan of the Bulls since the Jordan years. He once said in an interview that Jordan “changed Chicago sports forever.”
