Chicago Bulls set NBA history mark with 72 wins in one season

The honor of being recognized as the "best team in NBA history" is a topic fans can debate endlessly, but fans of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls have a way of making their own case. 
 
 The Bulls' 72-10, .878 hitting streak during the 1995-96 regular season was the best in NBA history and ranks as one of the team's greatest achievements in all  sports. The Bulls reversed the  Los Angeles Lakers' .841 mark with a 69-13 shooting percentage in 1971-72. The 2015-16 Golden State Warriors completed the 2015-16 season with a score of 73-9, becoming the first team to exceed 72 points. 
 
 The Bulls won 18 consecutive games during the 1995-96 season and in February. 2's record was 41-3. They became the first team in NBA history to win 70 games with an 86-80 victory in Milwaukee on April 16, and finished the season with  a 72nd decision against Washington, 103-93, on April 21.

 The Bulls finished with a score of 39-2 at the United Center and 33-8 on the road, earning their 33rd-highest away win. They continue to lead their opponents in the play-offs. They lost only one game in the series against Miami, New York and Orlando and made the final against Seattle. 
 
 Michael Jordan is back in the NBA Finals. After an 18-month layoff from basketball, a slump in professional baseball  and a comeback that fell just short of the 1995 NBA Finals, he narrowly missed a fourth straight season in Chicago. Chicago won its first three games before Seattle rallied in Game 6 to send the series  to the United Center. On his home court, Jordan gave  Chicago fans what they came to see. He responded to the 87-75 victory by bursting into tears on the field. He then immediately went to the Bulls' locker room, where he admitted that the emotions he had been keeping inside of him came out as his teammates celebrated. 
 
 Although he  returned to lead the NBA in scoring with 30.4 goals per game and was named NBA MVP for the fourth time, he showed he could come back when he led his team to a championship. Luckily, the Bulls changed their name on Father's Day, an important day for the man who lost his father, James Jordan, before suddenly retiring from basketball in 1994.

"I was lucky enough to be able to get a championship ball  and bring the championship back to Chicago," Jordan said later. “It happened on Father's Day and that makes it even more special. There's no better way to explain this. ” 
 
 The entire team stood at the scorer's table and shared a moment with the fans at the United Center as Jordan once again congratulated the Bulls. They then walked to the podium at the front of the table, where commissioner David Stern handed team owner Jerry Reinsdorf  his fourth championship  in six years. And somewhere along the way, Jordan got the trophy. His glass.
