Was Michael Jordan's "Flu Game" Really a Hangover?

[god shamgod]

It was food poisoning what the hell would make you think mike was drinking that heavily during the finals to be hung over at game time the next day

He had a fever of 103 I vividly remember this cuz I thought he was gonna miss the game and it was game 5 hangovers don't give you a fever either

Hangover, flu, food poisoning, doesn't really matter what it was . He still looked like shyt on his way to the court and then gave an amazing game.

End of story.

shyttt he was in his 30s...Idk how old you are but like 28+ after a hard night of partying can leave you hungover for the entire next day

We need a mix of and mashed together. That first realization you can't party like that anymore is so . I just moved from Orlando to Brooklyn, so that altitude is higher, and I'm way up on the 4th floor. The liquor hits so much faster up here. Used to knock out the 2 for 1 mojitos at this Cuban restaurant by my old place like it was nothing.

If he was hungover then he must have gotten fukked up the night before to still be feeling it by that night.

I talked to Ron Harper a few times. He used to throw a few parties and whatnot here in LA. He said Jordan whil'ed out the night before that Finals game and was drunk as sh*t. It wasn't no flu

You must not have gotten a hangover before.

I can tell some of y'all are young as hell, because Michael Jordan went just as hard partying as he did on the basketball court, so it isn't hard that at 30+ he believe that he could have been a hungover the following night.

Hangover or Flu still a legendary performance.
