Michael Jordan Signed to the Chicago Bulls 30 Years Ago Today

Right now we’re in the dead zone of NBA news. Sure, thanks to the NBA Draft, free agency gamles, and the now well-documented Summer League, people have stated that the league is now a 12 month season, but in reality, September is a notoriously slow month. Back in Michael Jordan’s day, it wasn’t unusual to sign contracts in September though, as today we celebrate the 30th anniversary of His Airness inking a deal to play with the Chicago Bulls. At the time of the deal, the number 3rd overall pick of the 1984 Draft was 21 years young.
