  • The 1998 NBA Finals was the championship round of the 1997-1998 National Basketball Association season. The Chicago Bulls of the Eastern Conference played against the Utah Jazz of the Western Conference, with the Jazz holding home-court advantage. The series was played under a best-of-seven format, so the first team to collect four victories secured the series and thus the title. Considered one of the best NBA Finals matchups in recent history, this was a repeat of the previous year's Finals, which the Bulls won 4-2. This series pitted four of the greatest players in NBA history against each other; Legendary guard Michael Jordan and the versatile swingman Scottie Pippen of the Bulls faced off against "The Mailman", forward Karl Malone and point guard great John Stockton of the Jazz. The Bulls won the series 4 games to 2 to give the Bulls their third consecutive NBA title, and their sixth in eight seasons. Michael Jordan was voted the Most Valuable Player of the series. He also had won the award the last five times the Bulls won the Finals: 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997. Michael Jordan did not play during the 1994 season and returned from retirement to play the final 27 games (17 regular season and 10 playoff) of the Bulls' 1995 season. As a result, this would be his sixth NBA championship and sixth Finals MVP award in six full basketball seasons, an unprecedented feat.
