Bulls vs Jazz 1997 - Game 6 - Bulls win 5th Championship

Behind a solid performance from their leader and the greatest player to ever lace up basketball shoes, the Chicago Bulls won their fifth championship in seven years, beating Utah 90-86 in game six of the 1997 Finals.

Michael Jordan scored 39 points and pulled down 11 rebounds - but it was the last of his four assists that made all the difference.

MJ knew Stockton would leave Steve Kerr to double on him, so after drawing the double, Jordan swung the ball to a wide open Kerr who calmly sank the game-winning jumper.

Kerr finished with nine points and played a big role in leading a Bulls charge late in the game.

Scottie Pippen scored 23 points.

Karl Malone scored 21 to lead Utah and Jeff Hornacek put in 18.

Lebron travelled

@olay1196. LOL MJ's era lacked good players??? You do know that if DWade or Lebron played in MJ's era they would not be a top 10 player in the league back then like they are now. What a joke.

MJ's era had ledgends. Whoever said they lacked good players is on the pipe. There were so many to count: Magic Johnson, Hakeem Olojiwan, David Robinson, Patric Ewing, Anfernee and Tim Hardaway, Alonzo mourning, Grant Hill, a YOUNG SHAQ, Reggie Miller, Karl Malone and John Stockton, Charles Barkley, Dekembe Mutumbo, Clyde Drexler, Mugsy Bohges just to name a select few that don't count The Bulls team. If i missed any (and i'm sure i did) please feel free to continue the list.

@helenlundeberg. David West is 30 YRS old coming off an ACL tear so his nees are shot meaning he is on the way down in his career. Glad the Bulls dont got him.

@JZ2001JC Exactly! Pippen defense will make them a joke to basketball.
