Horace Grant will join Michael Jordan in the Bulls’ Ring of Honor this November.
The Bulls announced their second class for the Ring of Honor on Friday.
The hope is to just have a Ring of Happiness.
That wasn’t exactly the case for the inaugural class two years ago, headlined by six-time champion Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Jordan was a no show, sending in a video to be watched at the dinner, while Pippen was initially expected to come before communication between each side broke down.
Besides those two key figures in the franchise’s history, former coach Phil Jackson was also part of that class, as well as the likes of Artis Gilmore, Johnny “Red” Kerr, Dick Klein, Jerry Krause, Toni Kukoc, Bob Love, Dennis Rodman, Jerry Sloan, Chet Walker, Tex Winter and members of the 1995-96 team, which went 72-10 on its way to holding up the Larry O’Brien that year.
This latest class – which the Bulls will do every two years – included: Johnny Bach, Bill Cartwright, Neil Funk, Horace Grant, John Paxson and Norm Van Lier.
“The Chicago Bulls Ring of Honor recognizes the legends who have helped shape our organization over the past six decades,” president and CEO Michael Reinsdorf said in a statement. “Each member of the Class of 2025 has earned their place in Bulls history, as their impact goes far beyond the court, the locker room or the broadcast booth. This November, we look forward to cementing their legacies and celebrating Johnny, Bill, Neil, Horace, John and Norm alongside our fans.”
The Bulls will celebrate the Class of ‘25 with several events in November, including recognition during the Bulls game against the Washington Wizards on Nov. 22 and a private gala on Nov. 20.
