Michael Jordan Reveals That He Actually Had Food Poisoning Instead Of The Flu During Famous ‘Flu Game’ In The 1997 NBA Finals

From what Tim Grover and MJ are saying, sounds like they think the five guys who brought MJ's late-night pizza to his room in Salt Lake put something on it that gave him food poisoning. Didn't work. 38 and the game-winner. NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE HIM.

When I got food poisoning my kids had to bring me sippy cups full of ginger ale while I laid on the floor meanwhile MJ is dropping 38 points in Game 5 of the finals

“Food poisoning game” just doesn’t have the same ring to it…

“Flu game” stays.
