🏀 From the Tangiers Vault: Tex Winter’s Personally Owned, Team-Signed Bulls Championship Balls (1991–92 & 1996–97)

🔐 From the Tangiers Vault

Only a few items in the sports collecting world truly belong to the dynasty — not just adjacent to it. These two are among them.

Straight from the legendary Tex Winter’s personal collection, we’re proud to showcase two authentic, team-signed Chicago Bulls championship basketballs from the 1991–92 and 1996–97 seasons. These are more than memorabilia — they are direct artifacts from inside the Bulls' inner circle, each signed by the full roster, including Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Phil Jackson, and more.

🧠 Tex Winter: The System Behind the Rings

The late Tex Winter wasn’t just any coach. He was the architect of the triangle offense, a system that fueled six titles for the Bulls and five more for the Lakers. He was the bridge between strategy and superstardom, and a mentor to Phil Jackson and the entire Bulls roster.

These two basketballs were championship-season gifts to Tex, signed by the very teams he helped mold into legends.
