The Chicago Bulls completed their second three-peat in the 1997-98 season led by five-time MVP Michael Jordan. Every time Jordan was in an NBA Finals he captured the Finals MVP award, and during the 1997-98 NBA Finals Jordan averaged 33.5 points in a staggering 41.7 minutes per game while capturing his sixth and final NBA championship. MJ wore this jersey on February 17th, 1998 in a 105-97 victory against Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers to improve their record to 39-15. Jordan led the way for the Bulls scoring 27 points while adding 6 assists and 4 rebounds.
