This is the Legendary Flu Game where MJ rises from his death-bed. It is my opinion that this game can be considered MJ's greatest game ever. The book "MJ's 50 Greatest Games" ranks this at #2. This is the game that signified the core and purity of Michael Jordan. Take away all the circus shots, amazing dunks, hang-time jumpers, acrobatic drives, huge scoring nights etc, and you had what Michael Jordan represented - the unparalleled desire and will to succeed in the most crucial moments and in the most dramatic fashion. The only question left after this game was whether MJ would be the greatest there ever will be. MJ's sickness left him devoid of energy, food and sleep. During the game, someone mistakenly gave him Gatorlode instead of Gatorade which made things even worse since Gatorlode is a post-activity drink. But the Bulls needed this game since the series was tied 2-2 and losing this game meant they would have to go to 7 games to win the title. This was unacceptable to MJ. Also, that year's "MVP-trohy borrower" Karl Malone had to be defeated. Going 13-27 (modest by MJ's standards) and at times, about to pass out, MJ stuck through and came up with the clutch FT, clutch rebound and of course, the famous clutch trey-winner. Is it possible to have more drama? MJ stated that he still has trouble remembering the whole game because of his condition. He said, "I almost died playing that game." The greatest, as always, MJ.

You know.. how sick this man was ? Sick enough to the point that he Actually admitted it at the end of the Game.. You know Michael knows not to show any weaknesses to your opponents cause they'll feed off of it.. That end of the game interview.. Unreal.. Him Hugging Pippin at the end of the game.. One of the realest things i've ever seen in my Life..

The G.O.A.T - without question, the greatest baller we'll ever see.

the story with the flu is unnecessary and fugazy. This is pro sport and I do not give a shit whether he is sick or not. To put it simple: if he is sick than he is out of the game; and if he plays, it means that he is not sick. EOT

Jordan forever.

2 reasons: Utah in that time played a "double-team zone" meaning that when they double teamed the nearest defender would cover the top of the arch, in this case Stockton. He got late. Also, MJ's three point shooting has always been underrated by defenders and the media, so Russell felt that Pippen in the post against Hornacek was more of a threat than MJ in the three, which is in theory is true, but MJ proved them wrong (as always...).
