No one knows the exact moment of the transformation, but no one disputes the event. Just about teh time John Paxson rained a series of jump shots on the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the 1991 NBA Finals, the Chicago Bulls transcended professional basketball to become one of the world's great traveling shows.
Indeed, no team in any sport ever has been as well known in as many places around the globe. When NBA Commissioner David Stern visited China in the early 1990s, a leading Chinese leader had one request: Send the Red Oxen. When the NBA conducted a series of basketball clinics in Africa in 1993, they visited a refugee camp near the Kenya-Somalia border. Three little boys showed up in that ravaged land wearing their prized possession: A Chicago Bulls tee shirt.

They have sold out arenas from Chicago to Los Angeles to New York to Paris with a unique mass appeal. When the Bulls appeared in Atlanta for the final time in 1998, more than 60,000 people, thousands of them unable even to see the court, jammed the Georgia Dome. Their lives roll by with the same speed and efficiency they displayed on the court. they are rock stars with no backstage.

With unique access and state-of-the-art equipment, photographer Barry Elz captures all of them in Chicago Bulls Portrait of an Era, an elegant, spectacular collection of more than 100 photographs. With text by award-winning writer Mark Vancil, Chicago Bulls Portrait of an Era includes every player and coach from the 1995-1998.

destined to become a collector's item, Chicago Bulls Portrait of an Era showcases Elz's collection for the first time.

"In those rare moments when the train actually seemed to slow.," says Elz, "they allowed me to capture a moment that otherwise might have blown by without notice."

This excellent COLLECTOR'S ITEM makes a Unique and wonderful holiday gift, however, there is only ONE AVAILABLE and once its gone its GONE!
