Editing Chicago Bulls (section)

===Starting lineup introductions===
During the Bulls' run of dominance, the player introductions became world-famous. Longtime announcer [[Tommy Edwards (announcer)|Tommy Edwards]] was the first to use [[Sirius (instrumental)|"Sirius"]],<ref name=WSJ>{{cite news |last=Cohen |first=Ben |title=The One Record the Warriors Can't Take From the Bulls: Even as Golden State closes on a historic 73rd win, Chicago's pre-game music still sets the standard |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-one-record-the-warriors-cant-take-from-the-bulls-1460498500 |newspaper=Wall Street Journal |date=April 12, 2016 |access-date=October 8, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181008095800/https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-one-record-the-warriors-cant-take-from-the-bulls-1460498500|archive-date=October 8, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> [[On the Run (instrumental)|"On The Run"]] and other songs in game presentation in the NBA. When Edwards moved to Boston for employment with CBS Radio, he was replaced by [[Ray Clay]] in 1990, and Clay continued many of the traditional aspects of the Bulls introductions, including the music, [[The Alan Parsons Project]]'s "Sirius", for all six championship runs. The lights are first dimmed during the visiting team introduction, accompanied by "[[The Imperial March]]" from ''[[Star Wars]]'' composed by John Williams or "On the Run" by Pink Floyd, or "Tick of the Clock" by [[Chromatics (band)|Chromatics]]. Virtually all lights in the stadium are then shut off for the Bulls introduction, and a spotlight illuminates each player as he is introduced and runs onto the court; the spotlight is also focused on the Bulls logo prior to the introductions. Since the move to the United Center, lasers and fireworks have been added, and with improvements to the arena's White Way video screen, computer graphics on the stadium monitors have been added. These graphics feature the [[computer animation|3D-animated]] '[[Running of the Bulls]]' en route to the United Center, along the way smashing a bus featuring the opposing team's logo. Coincidentally, [[Alan Parsons]] wrote "Sirius" for his own band and was the sound engineer for "On the Run" from Pink Floyd's album ''[[The Dark Side of the Moon]]''.

Traditionally, the players have been introduced in the following order: small forward, power forward, center, point guard, shooting guard. During the championship era, [[Scottie Pippen]] was usually the first (or second after [[Horace Grant]]) Bulls player introduced, and [[Michael Jordan]] the last. (Pippen and Jordan are the only players to play on all six Bulls championship teams.) More recently with [[Derrick Rose]]'s arrival, the guards have been reversed in order, making the Chicago-bred point guard the last player introduced. <!-- more history of the evolution of the starting introduction here --> Although internal disputes eventually led to the dismissal of Clay, the Bulls in 2006 announced the return of Tommy Edwards as the announcer.<ref>{{cite news|title=BULLS: Tommy Edwards|url=http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/edwards_060912.html|publisher=NBA Media Ventures|website=Bulls.com|date=September 12, 2006|access-date=August 1, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101201152828/http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/edwards_060912.html|archive-date=December 1, 2010}}</ref>

As part of Edwards' return, the introductions changed as a new introduction was developed by [[The Wachowskis|Lily and Lana Wachowski]], [[Ethan Stoller]] and Jamie Poindexter, all from Chicago. The introduction also included a newly composed remix of the traditional Sirius theme. Edwards was replaced in 2020 by [[Tim Sinclair (announcer)|Tim Sinclair]].<ref name="schaefer">{{cite news |first=Rob |last=Schaefer |title=Q&A with Tim Sinclair, new PA voice of the Bulls |url=https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/bulls-announce-tim-sinclair-new-pa-announcer-replacing-tommy-edwards |work=NBC Sports |date=December 9, 2020 |accessdate=May 4, 2022 }}</ref>
