The Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls came into the ‘96-’97 season as defending Champions and ready to dominate with a stacked roster. Losing only 13 games the entire season, the Bulls did not disappoint. With Jordan leading the way averaging around 30 points per game from start to finish, the Bulls had little trouble making their way to the Finals, where they would face off against the Utah Jazz. These NBA Finals produced one of the more famous playoff performances from Michae lJordan in game five, aka the Flu Game. Rising from bed hours before tip-off, Jordan’s severe flu-like symptoms would not stop him from logging 44 minutes to go along with 38 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals, one blocked shot and a crucial Bulls victory. The iconic photograph of Jordan being helped off the court by star teammate Scottie Pippen is one that will never be forgotten.

There is no debating the fact that the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls were nothing short of dominant during the 90’s, boasting six championships in eight seasons. In the 1997-98 season, Jordan yet again showed why he is considered by most to be the greatest of all time by leading the league in points per game and securing his fifth NBA Most Valuable Player award. Jordan and the high powered Bulls finished the season capping off their second Championship three-peat and cementing their place in history as one of the greatest dynasties in sports history.
