Michael Jordan played Game 5 of the 1997 Finals with the flu — and still dominated.
In 1997, Michael Jordan played one of the greatest finals games ever while violently sick. It was game five against the Utah Jazz. Jordan had the flu or maybe food poisoning. He was sweating, weak, dizzy, but still dropped 38 points. The Bulls won the game and took the series. After the final buzzer, Jordan nearly collapsed into Scotty Pippen’s arms. It’s called the flu game and it’s basketball legend.
