Afternoon Delight: The Last Slice

The big reveal from episode 9 of Jordan's "The Last Dance" ( SPOILER ALERT ) was that his famous 1997 Finals "flu game" was actually a bout with food poisoning. To be specific, Jordan and his crew accused a late-night, pre-Game 5 pizza order of being spiked.

Jordan and the entourage claims the pizza arrived under suspicious circumstances (delivered by five snoopy guys, they said), and that His Airness did not share a single slice (Jordan spat on the whole pizza, it was claimed later) -- and gobbled the entire order up.
