1997-98 in considered by many to be the end of the Bulls dynasty of the 1990's. With it being Jordan's last year with the squad, the team's last NBA Title & the cap on the elusive "Three-peat" championship, the '98 team is firmly sketched into NBA history as one of the best to take the hardwood. The 1997–98 Chicago Bulls continued their elite status in the NBA's Eastern Conference, as they had throughout the decade, and defeated the Utah Jazz in the 1998 NBA Finals. With Pippen, Rodman & head coach Phil Jackson following Jordan directly after the season, it goes without saying why the 1997-98 team signed Bulls basketball is considered by many the toughest of the Jordan Championship era. Offered here is one of those extremely rare examples of the 1997-98 team secured on this official NBA game-issued Chicago Bulls stamped basketball with seventeen bold signatures. Notable signatures include Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Tony Kukoc, Phil Jackson (RARE), Dennis Rodman, Steve Kerr and Luc Longley. Overall in good condition with some masking tape affixed to one panel of the ball which dates the sphere to April 7th. The Bulls would defeat the Wizards for their 13th win in-a-row along with a solid 30 point effort from His Airness. Authenticated by Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA) with a sticker affixed for the Jordan signature. The other signatures are authenticated by PSA/DNA with a full letter of authenticity.
