CHICAGO - Outside Chicago's United Center, there are three statues devoted to some of the greatest athletes the city has ever known.
Basketball mega-star Michael Jordan, who led the Bulls to six championships and is widely considered the greatest player in NBA history, is there.
So are Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita, who starred for the Blackhawks, helped revolutionize the game, and brought the city a Stanley Cup in 1961.
They are among the most revered legends of sports in the Windy City, along with the likes of Chicago Bears Walter Payton, Mike Ditka and Dick Butkus and Cubs baseball star Ernie Banks.
