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.

He is simply the best ever. Lebron James or Kobe, Shaq, Iverson. None of them will ever be aqs dedicated or as good as michael jordan ever was. He played with broken fingers the flu fever any illness. he owns!

Nice collections of vids man! I'll never forget that flu game. That image of Jordan walking off the court leaning against Pippen's shoulder. Absolute greatness. Check out my Jordan tribute of "Where Amazing Happens" from my channel.

What I love about MJ in late 90's is his fade away jumpers. Looks so easy for him.

once michael jordan got his 1st taste of winning in 1991, NOBODY could beat him no matter what the odds were. even when he feels as terrible as he obviously did here. you can't say that there won't ever be a player that could surpass him, but it will take not only an incredible basketball player, but an even more remarkable human being. games like this go farrrr beyond skills and athletic ability. MJ G.O.A.T. and to this point it's not close in my opinion.

aw man...i remember this game. I remember sitting in front of the tv practically having an orgasm while watching this man play. We'll never see another athlete ( in any sport )so dedicated to his profession.
