Jordan was sick and he played SICK. Boy, that was one of the best games ever for any NBA player. His Airness made the Jazz sick, lol.
Now that is the kind of effort and drive that would make me watch the NBA more often during the regular season.

That's a horrible example....Guys today will still play in the finals even if they are sick...I'm talking about regular season....
and I don't find the fact that he PLAYED sick a big deal...It's HOW he played, and the fact that he was still able to dominate that made it impressive...
