This Chicago Bulls team was extremely lackluster in performance among all other teams in the league during the 1985-1986 season. Part of these results could be chalked up to fact that the star player, Michael Jordan, suffered a foot injury mid season and could only play a handful of games for the team. Their season ended with a 30-52 record and they finished fourth in the NBA central division.
