Where Are They Now?

NOT SO BULLISH This time last year, the unbeatable Chicago Bulls were scoring their sixth championship. Then M.J. left and, well, the team fell apart faster than a Rodman romance. Here's how the invincible Bulls are faring as mere mortals today:

Phil Jackson The Zen coach announced last week that he'll try to re-create that old championship karma with the L.A. Lakers

Michael Jordan Has kept busy with the usual hawking of Gatorade, MCI and his new cologne; he's also hitting the links

Scottie Pippen Joined the Houston Rockets and escaped Jordan's long shadow, but now he's stuck in Charles Barkley's

Dennis Rodman Distracting antics finally got him disowned from the NBA and enlisted by World Championship Wrestling

Steve Kerr The only ex-Bull to make it to the finals (with the Spurs); lost his killer three-pointer somewhere between Chicago and San Antonio

Ron Harper, Toni Kukoc Playing for the Bulls, who finished this season near the bottom of the league
