1996 Air Jordan 11 (XI) - Fresh off of a disappointing loss in the playoffs the previous year, a bigger and stronger Michael Jordan takes the court in 1996. The Bulls acquired the rebound maniac known as Dennis Rodman. This gave the Chicago Bulls the missing link they had needed the previous season. And with a vengeance, they dominated the regular season winning 72 games, beating the old record set by Wilt Chamberlain & Jerry West s 71-21 LA Lakers team.
