“A courageous, classic performance by the flu-ridden Michael Jordan.” — Marv Albert Fighting the flu and the rejuvenated Jazz, Michael Jordan put in one of his greatest games ever. Struggling even to stand at times, Jordan scored 38 points to will his team to a 90-88 win over Utah in game 5 of the 1997 Finals. There’s not too much that can be said about what Jordan did in this game. One can really only watch and marvel at that man’s will to succeed.

@lukeallyn I agree. I’m so sick of the comparisons. MJ would never cry about an elbow. The only person who comes close is Kobe. And that’s not even close. But the one thing they both have is an almost obsessive desire to win. You don’t hear Kobe complaining or making drama about his broken finger or getting his knee drained. I don’t especially like him, but I respect his game. MJ >>> Kobe >>> LeBron.
This is why I love MJ..he loves the game..its more than money..his will..Best game ever by a champion
I got the Flu games 4 you clueless people who dont no what that is it’s the shoes that jordan is wearing i dont c how jordan did it that game
@OakvilleVenom what the hell did you cry 4? he was just sick not about 2 die!
@MRrome231 definatlly with the best player ever on the floor
There will never be another Michael Jordan, that’s killer instinct right there.
Michael Jordan >>>>> LeBron James
Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippin.
The ultimate dream team.
@razzle9438 Kobe is a “Wannabe” Jordan, but is a “Never Will Be” Jordan!
@razzle9438 Kobe is “GOOD” but Jordan is the “BEST EVER”==>”THE GOAT”
@ta1064 kobe is the most clutch and the best closer in the nba OK DUDE JORDAN IS THE BEST BUT SO IS KOBE
You could see it on Phil Jackson’s face after the game. He knew they won the championship then and there.
kobe is very insecure ok dr phil. did u see michael’s hall of fame speech he is the insecure one
Ahmad Rashad, where have you been?? this is why he is the greatest..the best ever
Omg i remember this,like it was yesterday.
ForEmily23 I am 5 5 and dunk easily – Sweet right? What’s my secret? look at | 50 inch vertical [dot] com |
@ta1064 Ok fair enough.
@XManimal I saw “Kobe Cryant” on another board and thought it was funny. I try to have fun on boards like this and not take comments seriously. lol
@ta1064 I agree with you he doesn’t have the appeal that MJ had no other player in the NBA has and the only reason i called you immature was because of you saying things like Kobe CRYANT and comming back with things like ”Are you having a Kobe Tantrum?”.
@XManimal Because I don’t agree with you, you start name-calling? Now that’s immature. I think Kobe is a very good player, but he doesn’t have the all-round appeal like MJ.
@ta1064 No i’m trying to make you realise how immature you’re being but clearly it’s an impossible task.
@XManimal Are you having a Kobe tantrum now? lol
@XManimal You’re getting a bit upset over this. It’s just fun! Kobe still has some things to learn. Let’s see if the Lakers make to the Finals and how Kobe handles Lebron.
@ta1064 Two words ”Grow Up”.
@ta1064 You’re clearly just a Kobe hater that is stuck up MJ’s ass if you knew anything you would know Kobe is a great leader i’m done talking to you.
