Flu Game XII's Are Back + Making Them Sick

Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals literally has gone down in history. Michael Jordan pumped in 38 points during the Bulls pivotal 90-88 win over the Jazz. Chicago took a 3-2 series lead with that road victory over Utah. The story in Salt Lake City was overnight prior to the game Michael Jordan ate a bad pizza. Jordan came down with food poisoning and became ill overnight. No one knew if Jordan would play in the swing game. He needed fluids and actually played. Yet during a particular timeout late in the game all star teammate Scottie Pippen had to assist MJ to the bench. 19 years later Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals has become known as the Flu Game. Along with the black & red Air Jordans that were worn, Flu Game Jordans became their nickname as well. Brand Jordan has taken on the approach to remaster their product. Memorial Day Weekend, Saturday to be exact the Flu Game Air Jordans are back !
