Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Phil Jackson, Jerry Krause, Artis Gilmore, Jerry Sloan, Toni Kukoc, Bob Love, Chet Walker, Johnny "Red" Kerr, Tex Winter, Dick Klein and the 1995-96 team that won a then-record 72 regular season games and the NBA championship, will be the first class to be honored.

"The Chicago Bulls Ring of Honor will be a first-of-its-kind celebration honoring many of the legends who have helped shape our organization over the past 57 years," Bulls president Michael Reinsdorf said in a statement. "They have deep connections to our fans and community and represent a spirit of competition, hard work and toughness."
