Phil Jackson Autographed Tie from NBA Finals

Thats right, you guess it folks! This epic tie helped bring home Chicago the first NBA championship on the 1990s, the first of the 5 others to come just in that era. This tie is legendary, as it means so much to Phil and the bulls organization. its epic blackness surrounding the blue on the tie made it a bad jinx for his tenure in New york not and it was the real reason Patrick Ewing never won a championship, and won't ever be the coach of New york either (for current news, Patrick eyeing ways to be the head coach of the Knicks). Led by Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, the bulls had a regular season record of 61-21, under Phil Jackson. The Bulls set the single season record of 72-10 in the 1995-96 season. Jackson is one of the best coaches in NBA history. Jackson played in the NBA from 1967 until 1980. He was drafted by the New York Knicks and ending his playing career playing for the New Jersey Nets. He was a 2X NBA champion with the Knicks (1970 and 1973). Jackson was an assistant coach for the Chicago Bulls under Doug Collins. After taking over the head coaching job in 1989, Phil led the bulls to six championships (1991, 92, 93, 96, 97, and 98). This is apart of the Bulls history and two three-peats during one of the best eras in NBA history. After the Bulls, Jackson took over the head coaching job in Los Angeles. With the Lakers, Jackson won three championships (2000, 01, 02) to make it his third coaching three-peat. Then he added two more Laker champions (2009 and 2010) to his resume. The guy is a winner with 2 championships as a player and 11 as a coach, he doesn't even have enough fingers for all those rings. Plus this tie is due to come back in style.
