If it wasn’t for his time with the Bulls, Jason Caffey isn’t sure he still would be alive.

Caffey, a two-time champion with the Bulls, had the potential to rise to stardom in the NBA. After the Bulls drafted him out of Alabama in the first round of the 1995 NBA Draft, Caffey was molded by veterans Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. They instilled in Caffey a tireless work ethic and a “never quit” attitude.

He calls those first two seasons with the Bulls “one of the greatest experiences of my life.”
