Incredible original photograph of Michael Jordan's "The Last Shot" taken by photographer Mike Probesting at the end of Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals between the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Encapsulated and certified as an original Type I photograph by PSA/DNA. In what was a thrilling, hard-fought series, Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals served as the dramatic climax of the Bulls' defining "Last Dance" season. With Chicago's dynasty on the verge of being dismantled, Jordan capped an epic 45-point performance by stripping Karl Malone and sinking his legendary jumper over Byron Russell in the game's waning seconds, clinching the Bulls' sixth title in eight seasons. Jordan, voted Finals MVP for a record sixth time, forever cemented his legacy with "The Last Shot," which also signaled the end of the Bulls' dynasty, as both he and Hall of Fame head coach Phil Jackson departed after the season. The photo (10 x 8 inches) is in Near Mint condition overall.
