1998 NBA Finals, Game 6, Chicago Bulls vs Utah Jazz (HD) full broadcast + extended postgame coverage

Scottie Pippen has a balky back, Ron Harper has flu, and Dennis Rodman goes AWOL. Can Michael Jordan hold it together for one more win?

You can buy this game on DVD, but it does not contain the pregame show, halftime report, postgame interviews or LIVE ELVIS SIGHTING as included here. Some onscreen graphics are different too. Postgame celebration coverage from WMAQ-TV (Chicago NBC affiliate), plus reports from national news including the George Michael Sports Machine. As an added bonus, some TV commercials were preserved as a partial time capsule.

Original Air date: June 14, 1998. Digitized from VHS tape.
