Graded VG 3 by PSA. Offered is a full ticket from a December 17, 1996 game between the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers at the United Center. This game marked the first matchup between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. While Jordan was still at the height of his powers amid another dominating season, Bryant was a precocious 18-year-old year rookie, showing only flashes of what he would become. The Bulls prevailed 129-123 in overtime that day, with Jordan scoring 30 points and Bryant scoring five. The Tickemaster ticket (5-5/8 x 2 inches) displays a few light creases. Opening Bid $200.
