OMFG!!! What happened to basketball? Michael Jordan...you are GOD! Too bad we will never see anything so wonderful again. This vid brought so many memories. I am nearly in tears because watching this was so awesome. Wish any form of sport could ever touch this....but probably never again, sadly. I am so glad I witnessed this game live when I was young. Nearly 15 years later I am still shocked that the NBA could be so profound...mainly thanks to Jordan. So sad to see thugs like LeBron now.
@gimmedaalbatross lebron a thug? please...the world doesnt need more ppl who just make thingsup about people thats what the media is for.
i know these players flu games were nowhere as good as jordan nor was their condition as bad, but they also had excellent flu games: kobe, a.i (who scored 60points), lbj, wade and dirk. nba sux now, but nevertheless these were impressive too
great props to MJ....but there is no way he actually had the FLU...with the flu you literally cant even move....he had a cold, but the media always finds a way to exaggerate everything
i was feeling just nauseous today not even a flu and i couldnt even begin to imagine how horrible it would be to play with it. you dont have to like jordan, but goddamnit you have to respect him.
Might sound stupid but at times when I've felt like I had nothing left to give in a certain situation I watch this game to remind me how powerful the heart and will can be. Gives me the inspiration to keep pushing.
You know ppl say Kobe this Kobe that. I am sorry, Kobe does not yet have have a memorable finals moment. Jordan wrote stories in the finals that are beyond belief.
Can I point out Jordans 93 year with fucked up finger and wrist?
Can I point Scottie Pippens injuries in '98 and Jordan carried the team to a title?
Comparing Kobe's fucked up finger?! not "hand". and yet you are comparing Kobe @ 31 to 33...there's not ONE game NOT ONE in SEVEN finals appearances that you can compare to this one game of Jordans.
@shaybutta11208 Pippen was a very good post player....he likely would have either scored against Hornacek, or drew the foul...so Malone was helping out. He was playing the percentages, so to speak.
@MIKESOWELL ROBBED??? r u sure about that? For christ's sake man. read the articles. The view in the ring side and in the television is so different. Judges did a good job man, get over it.
In the year prior...I (temporarily) worked 3 jobs...with the weekends being the killer...where I had about 4 to 5 hours of sleep to work with.
During the first month or so of putting in those hours I felt nauseaus and weak....but because my love for my family was strong I preservered and during the almost 4 months that I worked nearly 80 hours I was able to stay ahead of the bills (and even paid off one critical loan).
@dimedropper1992 -Hate Jordan?-Are you on the planet Earth?MJ is the ony pro-player i have ever known that ppl have never had one negative comment to say about-hate?Not on this planet-maybe in another dimenson he is hated!!LOL
READ (GOOD ADVICE TO ALL) I'm a swimmer for a sport. But I love basketball with passion. But I'm better at swimming. For swimming everybody gets nervous before a race. Or they gotta go through grueling hard practices. But then again, I'm able to go through these. I don't get nervous anymore, and I'll do any hard practice. I defeat the nervousnes, by thinking of MJ's flu. I say to myself. A champion can deal with any type of pressure. Everytime an obstacle comes, I think of dis. Then i defeat it.
OK LOOK TO EVERY SINGLE ONE WHO TRIES TO COMPARE KOBE TO MJ
MJ WILL BE THE GREATEST PLAYER TO DO IT HANDS DOWN.
IM A HUGE HUGE KOBE FAN EVEN, LOOK AT MY NAME AND KOBE IS AMAZING THERES NO DENYING THAT AND KOBE IS CLOSEST WEVE SEEN SO FAR SINCE THE JORDAN ERA KOBE HAS BETTER FOOT WORK AND ID SAY A BETTER JUMP SHOT BUT JORDAN HAD THOSE HUGE HANDS AND ATHLETICISM LIKE NO OTHER AND JUS WAY BETTER ATTACKING THE RIM AND A WAY BETTER REBOUNDER, JORDAN WAS SPACE JAM TALENT ONE OF A KIND
Mj 13-34 aerioulsly . Kobe can shoot 22-24 ft from the basket with adefender in his face. Who guards Mj in his titles ? Hawkins, Scott,Hornecek, Marjle, Drexler I give that last one only.
You people are idiots are just dumb baskeball wise.How many times would you single cover Jordan.Leave him wide open for set shots not jumpers ala Kobe, and double team Scottie pippen are guys serious. Name one finals where he played a great guard?
Michael Jordan will forever be the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!! No one will ever be as great he was. He simply is the GREATEST EVER. The guy eptimosed genius. Long Live King Michael!!!!
And I used to own those shoes MJ is wearing, and they were probably the heaviest, least comfortable shoes the Jordan line ever produced. They were like wearing bricks on your feet. Can't believe he did it in those.
why all these people still doubt jordan. what else or what more proofs do you need?! all of u haters!! i hope u get raped by mike tyson in the ass with no vaseline!
I'm a lifetime Jazz fan and this still is one of the most amazing performances (and competitive games) that I've ever seen. Watching this when I was 11 was just amazing, MJ was insane. When we lost that game, I knew we'd lose the series, but it was (almost) okay, just because I felt like I was watching history in the making.
I can play when I have a cold but the stomach flu lol a dif. Level n dirk didnt look like he was gonna pass out but he still was sick nobody fakes anything besides lebrons skill level and I'm a heat fan...
Say what you will, if you can do what Jordan or Nowitski did, then you too would love this game too much. I tip my hats off to both of them for performing well under their conditions.
Why does everyone feel the need to say that something is fake? And why on Earth would someone as competitive as MJ fake a flu during game 5 of the finals in a 2-2 series? What could he have possibly gained from it? Its not like he was some over rated player who needed a built in excuse just in case he lost. So really, what the fuck.
@marioatlanta21 EXACTLY, if anything him having the flu would pump utah up and give them ALOT of confidence knowing mj wasnt at 100% (even if he was faking it, which he wasn't)
@marioatlanta21 Ya I agree 100 percent. He was already widely considered the GOAT at this point in time all he was doing by this point in his career was adding to his legacy so there was no reason for him to fake the flu. Man I swear some ppl and there "conspiracy theories" haha lol.
@Zachrydaman yup after game 6 in the 1998 finals Bob Costas said Jordan is already the greatest player ever and he just adds to it, he was considered the greatest player even by 1992-1993
@Ko3dB1tch3s When did Pippen ever say LeBron was better? He said that LeBron has the potential and Lebron is still young.If you think he said LeBron was better then quote it you dumbfuck.Learn to read.Hypocrite
@WoWCreflo Pippen said Jordan was the best scorer and that Lebron has the Best game. Everyone blasted his dumbass.
Jordan has the best all around game. b/c he can compete, lead and dominate a game, team, era. Lebron cant even show up in the 4th quarter, can't even finish a game, and did not improve on his weaknesses. shooting and post game. Jordan didnt come in with a Nasty J, but improved and look what happened he was unguardable. Lebron; just clog the lane, make him a shooter and passer .
WHOEVER TOUCHES A BASKETBALL SHOULD SHOW RESPECT FOR MICHAEL JORDAN.. PLAYING WITH FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS.. I CANT EVEN PLAY WHEN I GOT A COLD.. LOLLLLLL... MICHAEL JORDAN THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT.. HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!
Watch the sequence starting at 1:39. It shows everything overlooked about MJ's offensive prowess. Moving without the ball. Getting separation for the initial catch. Faking out the defender with a jab step. Creating space with a single dribble to the left. Then a picture perfect jumper with great vertical. Very nice.
C'mon people, I don't think he lied about his true health condition. Regardless, I've never seen Kobe or Lebron (until this day) having a performance like this in a decisive NBA Finals game. Flu or no flu, this was a heck of a performance.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i saw this game live when it happened. Jordan defintely "played up" this flu as a built-in excuse if they ended up losing the game/series. And if he won, he'd look like some legend. Great statregy, it worked out for him.
@MrYoyoma33 even though he had to go drink gatorade for 45 minutes after the game because he was so de hydrated, mikes a legend stop hating and if you do at least do your homework
@234509mj wow man are you meaning to tell me that people are actually hating on Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time? How can people hate on him, what a shame.
@miguel151420 cant prove it but come on. how about someone prove to us, John Q. Public, that he actually had a virus that severe? how about that. Wheres the accountability to the enquiring PAYING fan? lets see some blood work. Anybody can say they have a virus and then look like a hero when they perform anyway. sad but true. and lets be honest, at this point its an american fucking folk tale for crying out loud, who knows how fucking much the details have been bastardized and embelished.
@luisserra120280 am i? or am i just so sane and lucid that i blow your mind? I only speak the truth amigos. Wake up and smell what you wallow in. Your deifying and glorifying a youtube cult figure. He's an illusion concoted by Nike and the NBA to bilk billions out of you unsuspecting, naive simpletons
@MrYoyoma33 Look we can't prove it. Maybe he probably wasn't sick but who cares MJ was and is the best basketball player of all time. End of discussion.
Here's what I think: Any video posted on this website dedicated to Michael 'Air' Jeffrey Jordan and his game should NOT, I repeat, SHOULD NOT, have a 'dislike' button!!
OMFG!!! What happened to basketball? Michael Jordan...you are GOD! Too bad we will never see anything so wonderful again. This vid brought so many memories.

Wade's jumper is a joke. Please stop comparing him to Jordan.

1:25 "You cannot give up offensive rebounds on missed free throws."
I guess it's fitting that the most crucial play of the game occurred thanks to an offensive rebound on a missed FT.

He was 34 yrs old when he did this. Kobe is only 32. He's still got some great performances left in him. For now though, MJ = GOAT

C'mon people, I don't think he lied about his true health condition. Regardless, I've never seen Kobe or Lebron (until this day) having a performance like this in a decisive NBA Finals game. Flu or no flu, this was a heck of a performance.

i saw this game live when it happened. Jordan defintely "played up" this flu as a built-in excuse if they ended up losing the game/series. And if he won, he'd look like some legend. Great statregy, it worked out for him.

@MrYoyoma33 even though he had to go drink gatorade for 45 minutes after the game because he was so de hydrated, mikes a legend stop hating and if you do at least do your homework

@234509mj wow man are you meaning to tell me that people are actually hating on Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time? How can people hate on him, what a shame.

@MrYoyoma33 Good theory but can you prove it?
miguel151420 8 months ago
@miguel151420 cant prove it but come on. how about someone prove to us, John Q. Public, that he actually had a virus that severe? how about that. Wheres the accountability to the enquiring PAYING fan? lets see some blood work. Anybody can say they have a virus and then look like a hero when they perform anyway. sad but true. and lets be honest, at this point its an american fucking folk tale for crying out loud, who knows how fucking much the details have been bastardized and embelished.

@MrYoyoma33 Look we can't prove it. Maybe he probably wasn't sick but who cares MJ was and is the best basketball player of all time. End of discussion.
