The NBA draft – one of the most highly anticipated events in the basketball sporting calendar – is also a time of great uncertainty. Legendary teams are pinning their hopes on up-and-coming players, with no guarantee that these signings will pay dividends. Many new players don't show their full potential until they've fully settled in with their team, but some teams simply lose patience and trade these players too early. Would you believe that the now talented Kobe Bryant was one of these players who was traded within days of being signed in 1996. That's right!

The Chicago Bulls are one of the most legendary teams of all time. There's no question about it. Based out of Chicago Illinois, they have competed in 54+ seasons of the NBA between 1966/67 through to the present day, and they have a commendable win/loss percentage of .511 (2227 wins - 2135 losses). The team has reached the playoffs 35 times in its history, and boasts an incredible 6 NBA championships.
