STORY TIME
The 1997 NBA Finals provided one of the most dramatic and iconic showdowns in basketball history, pitting the mighty Chicago Bulls, chasing their fifth title of the decade, against the Utah Jazz, making their long-awaited Finals debut. With Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen leading Chicago and Karl Malone and John Stockton leading Utah, the stage was set for a high-octane showdown, filled with rivalries and unforgettable moments.
The tone was set as early as Game 1 when Pippen famously quipped, “The Mailman doesn't deliver on Sundays,” just before Malone missed crucial free throws, leaving Jordan with the chance to score the game-winning basket.
After going up 2–0, the Bulls suffered a Jazz comeback in Salt Lake City, with a delirious Delta Center that tied the series at 2–2. Then came Game 5, which has gone down in NBA legend as the “Flu Game.” Stricken with food poisoning, Jordan dragged himself onto the court and scored 38 points in a heroic performance that gave the Bulls a 3–2 lead. Back in Chicago for Game 6, with the game in the balance, Jordan fed Steve Kerr, who calmly sank the game-winning jumper with five seconds left.
The Bulls won the series 4–2, and Jordan earned his fifth Finals MVP award. Beyond basketball, the series was also marked by controversy and strong personalities, from Dennis Rodman's anti-Mormon slur resulting in a record fine, to heated disputes with the referees, to surreal moments like Antoine Carr asking Jordan for his autograph midway through the series. 🏀🔥
