In April, former Chicago forward Scottie Pippen jokingly explained to ESPN's Rachel Nichols that Capps became a popular gambling buddy with Michael Jordan, though MJ obtained some insider knowledge:

Capps had said the Bulls' first title in 1991, when they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in five games in the Finals, was the one that stood out most.

"Winning that first one in L.A.," he told Sam Smith of NBA.com. "Being an average team for so long. It was great for those guys."

Capps was a Marine and a Chicago police officer before joining the Bulls.
