Jordan 12 Retro Flu Game

The Flu Game refers to a legendary moment in sports history, particularly in the NBA, when Michael Jordan played through a severe flu-like illness during Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals between the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz.

Jordan, visibly weak and dehydrated, was suffering from flu-like symptoms but managed to lead the Bulls to a crucial victory, scoring 38 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, and dishing out 5 assists in a dramatic 90-88 win. His performance was a testament to his incredible toughness and determination, and it solidified his legacy as one of the greatest athletes of all time. The game became iconic not only because of the immense physical challenge Jordan faced, but also due to the atmosphere surrounding it and the memorable moments, such as Jordan being helped off the court by teammates after the game.
