One of the great Michael Jordan-era Sports Illustrated covers. The June 9, 1997 “Gimme Five” issue captures Jordan and Dennis Rodman during the Chicago Bulls’ pursuit of their fifth NBA championship of the Jordan era.
The image is pure 1990s Bulls basketball—Jordan attacking the basket with Rodman underneath him—and CGC specifically recognizes the Dennis Rodman & Michael Jordan cover on the label. A terrific display piece for a Jordan, Bulls, Sports Illustrated or graded-magazine collection.
