Bulls Fans Absolutely Need to Buy These Customized T-Shirts Based off 'The Last Dance'
By Jerry Trotta
Chicago Bulls fans have been living on cloud nine for the last month during the airing of "The Last Dance," ESPN's 10-part documentary on Michael Jordan and the team's journey to the 1998 NBA Finals, which was the dynasty's last championship before everybody (controversially) went their separate ways.
From a ratings perspective, the doc blew away projections, and it's fair to assume that Bulls diehards -- and basketball fans, in general -- are missing it dearly. Luckily for them, these fire customized t-shirts based off "The Last Dance" can help vill the void.
6. What Time Is It?
What better way to commemorate the Bulls' dynasty than repping the closing quote from their famous pre-game huddle chant that was led by Jordan? The shirt is available in all sizes, but we'd advise potential buyers to act quickly because this design is going to sell fast.
5. From North Carolina
We seriously couldn't think of a more perpetual celebration of Jordan's career in the Windy Cindy than this gem. Bulls fans likely had chills each time MJ was introduced during the starting lineup ceremonies.
4. Not My Summer
Scottie Pippen wasn't exactly portrayed in a positive light in the documentary, and he came out publicly to voice his displeasure with Jordan. However, the Bulls legend delivered one of the best quotes in the 10-hour series while he was explaining his decision to postpone surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his ankle before the 1997-98 season. Not only does this t-shirt shoutout "The Last Dance," but it's also relatable for any fan that likes to live it up in the summer time.
3. "I'm Back."
Other than "Game 7," there might not be a more widely recognized two words in all of sports. As we know, Jordan sent a fax to announce his return to basketball after taking a 13-month hiatus to play for the Chicago White Sox. Paying homage to the six-time Finals MVP by purchasing a shirt that signals the biggest decision of his basketball career just makes sense.
2. Six Rings
This t-shirt simply had to be included and you would be wise to make it your own. It perfectly encapsulates everything the Bulls accomplished in the 1990s. On top of that, the question mark signals what could have been had owner Jerry Reinsdorf not made the maddening decision to break the team up.
1. Don't Talk Trash to Black Jesus
Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller's rivalry really culminated during the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals. Who could forget MJ clapping back at the young and fearless Indiana Pacers star with the iconic liner "Don't talk trash to black Jesus?" This is yours if you want to pay homage to one of His Airness' greatest zingers. How could you not?
