Former Bulls head coach Jim Boylan wins title as Cavs assistant

The Cavaliers' 93-89 victory in Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night delivered the franchise's first championship.

Most notably it was the first championship won by the Bulls' Central Division nemesis LeBron James as a member of the Cavs. James has a perfect 4-0 playoff series record against the Bulls between the Cavs and the Heat and now claims three championship wins in seven Finals appearances.

But you know who else is also a newly minted NBA champ? Former Bulls head coach Jim Boylan.

Boylan coached the Bulls for 56 games during the 2007-08 season following the Christmas Eve firing of Scott Skiles.
