The Chicago Bulls are one of the crown jewels of the NBA and in large part that's thanks to Michael Jordan and his team. Their success in the '90s elevated the franchise into a new tier of fandom in a city like Chicago that is willing and ready to support good teams. NBA 2K20's MyTeam mode is home to various cards of Bulls players new and old.
But who is the best of the best you can build a roster within the mode? Let's take a look at the 10 best Chicago Bulls cards in NBA 2K20's MyTeam mode and rank them from worst to first.
10 Michael Jordan '95 (93)
This 93 overall Michael Jordan card is both a blessing and a curse. It's arguably the easiest Jordan card to get a hold of, but sadly you can't add more contracts to it so once it's gone, it's gone.
Sometimes you have to realize that the most beautiful things don't last forever and you should just enjoy the fact you get to play with Jordan in your lineup despite how fleeting it may feel. This card will have you living for the close to midrange game and your opponent will have to be ready for a steady diet of Jordan taking it to the rim.
9 Artis Gilmore '88 (94)
Fans looking for a prototype center that best displays how the game used to be played from inside out could look directly at Artis Gilmore's game in the late '80s. This towering man measured up at 7'2" and weighed around 240 lbs., which set him apart from his peers on the court.
Along with his amazing strength, he was a walking double-double in points and rebounds. On top of that, he could protect the rim from anyone brave enough to challenge his impressive frame and skillset. Gilmore's 94 overall card is a blessing in disguise.
8 Scottie Pippen '95 (95)
When describing the type of player Scottie Pippen was in his prime, many fans would usher the word cold as a descriptor of his play. Funny enough, he has a 95 overall hard that's part of the frostbite packs that comes equipped with everything Pippen was known to deliver on a night in and night out basis.
Some saw him as Robin to Michael Jordan's Batman, but he was closer to being Nightwing if anything. This 95 overall card sings from the heavens for those looking to acquire a lockdown swingman who can drain an open 3-point shot from time to time.
7 Bob Love '77 (95)
We'll talk about Bob Love a little bit later, but chances are that most of you reading this are scratching your head wondering who this guy is. People like to think of the Bulls are a franchise that's been at the top since the NBA's inception, but historically it was Michael Jordan and company's run in the '90s that put the franchise on the map.
Decades before this, however, Bob Love was snagging rebounds and dominating in the paint. If you need a force inside that can get the job done, don't overlook Love.
6 Michael Jordan '95 (95)
What's there to say about Michael Jordan at this point that NBA fandom as a whole doesn't know? No matter where you come down on the Kobe Bryant, Jordan, LeBron James debate it's hard to deny that Jordan was a world-class competitor and a heck of a basketball player.
His natural athletic ability and all-around scoring ability is showcased pretty nicely in his 95 overall flash pack card, but understand he wasn't perfect and had his flaws, The two biggest weaknesses of this card are his interior defense and rebounding, but at the end of the day that's not why you have Jordan on your team.
5 Jalen Rose '08 (96)
You may not like Jalen Rose as an NBA commentator, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he had a solid NBA career. Asking a Bulls fan who their favorite players of the franchise are throughout history you'll likely never hear Rose's name, but that doesn't mean he didn't contribute in a meaningful way.
Rose can't really defend or rebound, but if you give him an open shot from 3-point range, then chances are he's going to sink it. His playmaking attributes are also pretty solid and might have you choosing to run your offense through him from time to time.
4 Zach LaVine (96)
Zach LaVine is one of the most athletic players in the entire NBA and most fans only dream of seeing him every year at the Dunk Contest that takes place during NBA All-Star Weekend. He's much more than just a dunker and in recent years he's put a lot of hard work into becoming a more well-round player.
Rebounding is an aspect of his game that's still less than average, but his pure athletic ability can make up for that tenfold. At the end of the day, you'll enjoy having LaVine running in transition in hopes of snagging a timely lob from a teammate.
3 Bob Love '77 (96)
Bob Love is one of the greatest Chicago Bulls of all-time, but sadly he played before Michael Jordan helped the franchise become beloved, so therefore he often gets lost to history. He was a great big man during a time in the NBA where having a solid center was something teams only dreamed of acquiring.
His 96 overall card comes equipped with a plug-and-play dominant rebounder that can score from anywhere near the paint. His one downfall is that he has absolutely no playmaking ability, but considering he's a center it's likely a non-issue.
2 Scottie Pippen '95 (97)
Many people remember Scottie Pippen as Michael Jordan's sidekick and partner in crime when they dominated the NBA in the '90s. Pippen was much more than that and could have easily been a superstar for another team in the league, but he happened to play alongside arguably the greatest NBA player of all-time.
His 97 overall card from the '95 season has solid hustle and stamina ratings as well as a shot IQ way above average. He may not be the primary scorer for your squad but his defensive stats will allow you to put him on your opponent's best player.
1 Derrick Rose (97)
In 2020 it's not hard to remember a young Derrick Rose taking the league by storm and winning the MVP award for the Chicago Bulls in 2011. His 97 overall MyTeam card takes the injury-prone, once thought of as next great, Rose and showcases what he was best at early in his career.
The card features incredible athletic traits that allow Rose to attack the rim and finish with force. It also allows users to take advantage of his playmaking ability whether that's playing off of screens or driving to the paint. Just don't expect him to crash the boards in any meaningful way.
