Eric Paschall makes fun of Utah for Michael Jordan 1997 food poisoning

For the last 23 years, we've referred to it as the "Michael Jordan Flu Game."

But after Sunday's final episodes of "The Last Dance," we can now refer to the Chicago Bulls' win over the Utah Jazz in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals as the "Michael Jordan Food Poisoning Game."

Not as catchy, but it's what really happened.

The night before Game 5, Jordan was at the team hotel in Utah and he wanted some food. The only place open was a pizza joint. Jordan's personal assistant George Koehler and personal trainer Tim Grover ordered a pizza for MJ.
