Readers crown 1996-98 Bulls Chicago's best sports team ever

This is a Bears town, but Michael Jordan and the '90s Bulls captured the world's attention.

• In a bit of an upset, readers have chosen the 1996-98 Chicago Bulls as the best Chicago sports team of all time.

The Bulls beat the '85 Bears with 62% of the vote.

What you're saying: Readers like Ted M. agree: "The 1990s Bulls changed the image of Chicago and basketball worldwide."

Also, Chris P.: "The Bulls had made the conference finals the year before, and came into '96 with a f--k everybody else mentality, THEN decided to win the next two just for fun."

It was an amazing tournament, and we can thank all these teams for great memories. Here's hoping today's Chicago sports teams add to the list.

Thank you for voting! Go, Chicago.
