10. Jamal Crawford

While the Bulls may never have done much in terms of winning while he was in Chicago, Jamal Crawford is one of the most forgotten Bulls of the 2000s. Due to his success later in his career with other teams, Crawford’s time with Chicago seems to get placed on the back-burner.

People may forget just how exciting Crawford was in a Bulls uniform. The former first-round pick out of Michigan could be electric at times, and not just as a shooter. He might be remembered as one of the better scorers of his time, but Crawford could dish the ball better than most.

Just check out those highlights above.

While in Chicago, Crawford’s best season came in his final year with the Bulls during the 2003-2004 campaign. He got the chance to start in 73 of his 80 games that year, proving to be a viable option offensively. Crawford averaged 17.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game that year.

His percentages weren’t outstanding, shooting only 38.6 percent from the floor, but most of that was due to having being relied on as one of the primary options. Crawford has never been that type of player; ideally coming off the bench as a locked-and-loaded shooter. In any event, statistically, his final year looked solid overall.

He spent four seasons with the Bulls before leaving for the New York Knicks.
