The 1989–90 Chicago Bulls season was the 24th season for the Chicago Bulls in the National Basketball Association. The Bulls received the sixth overall pick in the 1989 NBA draft from the New Jersey Nets via trade, and selected power forward Stacey King from the University of Oklahoma, and also selected point guard B.J. Armstrong from the University of Iowa with the 18th overall pick. Despite their solid playoff run last year, the team fired head coach Doug Collins, and replaced him with assistant coach Phil Jackson.
