This June 9, 1997 Sports Illustrated features Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman of the Chicago Bulls on the memorable “Gimme Five” cover. The issue comes from one of the most celebrated periods in NBA history, when Jordan and the Bulls were competing for another NBA championship.
Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman were two of the most recognizable players on the 1997 Chicago Bulls championship team. Jordan was the centerpiece of the Bulls dynasty, while Rodman was one of the NBA\'s premier defensive and rebounding specialists. Together, they helped Chicago capture its fifth NBA championship during the 1996–97 season.
This original 1997 Sports Illustrated is professionally graded CGC 8.0 and securely encapsulated. The combination of Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Chicago Bulls, NBA championship history and the iconic “Gimme Five” cover makes this an excellent vintage basketball collectible.
