May 18 (UPI) -- Michael Jordan debunked one of his most legendary moments during The Last Dance, when he said he had food poisoning -- not the flu -- in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals.
Jordan scored 38 points in 44 minutes and hit a game-winning 3-point shot to lead the Bulls to a 90-88 win against the Utah Jazz during the infamous performance on June 11, 1997, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. He was often shown on the bench in obvious discomfort and sweating profusely.
