The year was 1997. The Chicago Bulls were coming off their second straight title, and their fifth of the last seven years. The 1997-98 regular season was looming large as the final opportunity for those great dynasty Bulls teams to win one more title. This veteran Bulls team was looking to make “The Last Dance” a fun for the ages and win their sixth title of the decade. That would solidify the Bulls as likely the most accomplished dynasty in the modern era of sports.
The trio of stars that continued to spearhead the Bulls during the 1997-98 season included forwards Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman and shooting guard Michael Jordan.
