“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team,” Chicago Bulls Coach and so-called Zen Master Phil Jackson famously said. And on Thursday, January 11, 2024, the successes of the outstanding individual Chicago Bulls players, coaches, staff and a Championship team were celebrated with the first ever Chicago Bulls Ring of Honor Gala, proudly presented by Magellan Corporation.
The Class of 2024 included the incomparable Artis Gilmore, Phil Jackson, Bill Klein, Jerry Krause, Michael Jordan, Redd Kerr, Toni Kukoc, Bob Love, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Tex Winter, Jerry Sloan, Chet Walker, and the 1995-96 Championship Team. Hosted at the United Center – where else? – the evening featured cocktails among incredible memorabilia, mingling with the awardees and other Bulls players and staff, followed by an incredible meal on the court – which has been transformed into a glamorous 5 star restaurant, a meal by James Beard Award winning chef Sarah Grueneberg, and a fascinating program featuring Bulls announcers, coaches and players.
Magellan staff, clients and friends enjoyed an outstanding night celebrating these greats.
