This 1991 championship ring belonged to Johnny “Red” Kerr for his long association with the Chicago Bulls.  His history with the team begins with Kerr being selected by the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Expansion Draft in the mid-1960’s.  However, Kerr voluntarily retired so that he could become the coach of his hometown’s new basketball team.  After his playing and coaching days, Kerr returned to the Chicago Bulls to work in their front office.  In 1975, Kerr began providing radio commentary during games, and remained as a color commentator until the end of the 2007–08 season.  As a broadcaster, Kerr oversaw the Bulls' six championships in the 1990s and Michael Jordan's entire career with the team.  Over the years, Kerr and Jordan developed a pre-game ritual in which Jordan would head to the broadcasting area and playfully clap talcum powder in front of Kerr.

The top panel shows a gold Bulls logo sitting on top of a double inlaid black onyx stone with 30 surrounding inlaid diamond stones. On the left panel is the name “KERR, above the image of the Larry O’Brien championship trophy and the “61-21” record of the Bulls 1990-1991 regular season.  Below that is the word “TV”. “World Champions” is on the right panel along with the year “1991” around the NBA logo. Below the NBA logo is the Bulls playoff record of “15-2”. The ring comes in a black velour box.

This is your opportunity to purchase a piece of Chicago Bulls history.
