The 1998 season was the last season Michael Jordan played for Bulls, and they haven’t been to the NBA Finals since.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, the L.A. Clippers and the Memphis Grizzles have never won an NBA Championship in their franchise history. The Cavs are the only team that’s been to the NBA Finals among the three.

Monday, the Bulls and Cavs start the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and the Bulls have never beaten a LeBron James-led team in the playoffs before.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said his team will make James work for his points, and the Bulls will mix up defenses throughout the series.
