November 3, 1997- Michael Jordan, the biggest player in the NBA at the time, was facing the future of the NBA when Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs played the Chicago Bulls in the early phase of the 1997-98 season.
Unbeknownst to all, this was a meeting of the next two NBA champions. The Bulls had won back-to-back championships and were on their way to a three-peat. The season was well documented in The Last Dance.
The Spurs, of course, would have a stellar shortened season in 1998-99 and win their first NBA title.
