COVER – MICHAEL JORDAN – ANOTHER BULL RUN

The Sports Illustrated issue from December 17, 1990 (Vol. 73, No. 25) features Michael Jordan on the cover with the headline “Another Bull Run – Can Michael Jordan and Chicago Finally Make It To The Top?”. The main content centers on Jordan’s dominance, the Chicago Bulls’ quest to break through in the NBA playoffs, and broader sports coverage from 1990.

Michael Jordan feature article titled “Another Bull Run”, explores Jordan’s relentless drive, his scoring prowess, and whether the Bulls could finally overcome rivals like the Detroit Pistons to reach the NBA Finals.

It reflects the narrative of Jordan being at the peak of his powers but still chasing a championship.

Chicago Bulls’ Playoff Struggles – Analysis of the Bulls’ repeated postseason battles, especially against the Pistons’ “Bad Boys.”

Discussion of team dynamics, Phil Jackson’s coaching, and the supporting cast around Jordan.

Other Sports Coverage – like most Sports Illustrated issues, it includes additional articles on football, hockey, and college sports from December 1990.

While the Jordan feature was the centerpiece, the magazine also carried regular columns, stats, and year-end reflections on sports.

Collector’s Value – This issue is considered a vintage collectible, especially in graded condition (CGC 8.5 VF+).

It’s prized among Jordan memorabilia collectors because it captures him just before his first NBA championship in 1991
