The Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy is the award given annually by the National Basketball Association (NBA) to the winner of the NBA Finals. The name of the trophy was previously the Walter A. Brown Trophy until 1984. The current design was first awarded in 1977 still under its original name which was changed in honor of former NBA commissioner Larry O'Brien who served from 1975 to 1984. Did you know that before joining the NBA O'Brien was the U.S. Postmaster General under President Lyndon B. Johnson from 1965 to 1968? This lot includes an exact brass replica of the Larry OBrien Championship Trophy that was awarded to the Chicago Bulls in 1996. It was the fourth title for Michael Jordan - the first following his premature retirement from the NBA in October of 1993 and brief experiment with professional baseball - and began a 2nd three-peat for the Bulls under coach Phil Jackson. Jordan was further immortalized after the '96 title because it came on the heels of the Bulls' astounding 72-10 regular season - the best in NBA history! The addition of Dennis Rodman to an experienced nucleus took the Bulls to another level. Just like the original this trophy stands 24 tall and weighs 14 pounds. Its base measures 10 wide by 12 long and has the following verbiage engraved alongside the NBA logo: THE LARRY OBRIEN TROPHY 1996 WORLD CHAMPIONS CHICAGO BULLS. Awesome memento for Chicago Bulls fans and collectors to commemorate a historic season.
