6 Rings… 7 Sneakers?

Posted byalyssafreyderPosted inUncategorized

In commemoration of the newly released ESPN documentary, “The Last Dance,” I thought I should write about the 7 sneakers that Michael Jordan wore during each NBA finals game he won to get his 6 NBA rings that were shown during the documentary.

Michael Jordan was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984 and won the NBA championship 6 times, all while playing for the Chicago Bulls. He won in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Though Michael Jordan won 6 rings, he actually wore 7 different sneakers at each NBA finals appearance.
