That is true. Many all-time greats retired ringless because of Mike: Ewing, Barkley, Stockton, Malone, etc.
But, as to whether he played up how sick he was-- please! He was given IV fluids and was nearly hospitalized after the game. And in the fourth quarter, Pippen had to physically support him when he walked back and forth between the bench during timeouts.

I heard that Jordan took acting classes to portray himself as sick.
Seriously though, Van Gundy was clearly joking about it but Mark Jackson was serious which is expected since he just hates Jordan's guts.

JVG did NOT sound like he was joking.

Re: Jackson and Van Gundy accuse MJ of 'faking' flu game
I wish JVG did commentary on every game I watch. I seriously watched the entire Cavs game tonight even though the offenses were so bland and the Hornets were giving no effort, just because I love JVG and Jackson. I watched the Laker game at a retaurant with no volume and I was ok with it because I hate Hubie Brown's commentary. I love Mike Tirico's commentary as well as everything he does because he does so much research and has so much knowledge about every sport but Brown brings him down. Put Tirico with JVG and Jackson and thats the best commentary team ever.

Re: Jackson and Van Gundy accuse MJ of 'faking' flu game
Imagine how pathetic Marc life is.
Jordan STILL owns him.
Every game Marc does, he always finds SOME way to take any random jab at Jordan.
Even tho, last time I've checked, Jordan played 6 years ago.
He keeps bringing him up and trying to diminish any MJ stuff with some worthless comparisons.
It just makes you respect MJ more.
While MJ in the Bahamas now in his tournament with cigars in his teeth playing some terrible golf and not giving a **** about basketball in general, this chump feeds on sayin stupid **** like that.
Only for one reason. To make him feel better. About a chance MJ ****ed him over for 11 years ago.
So basically, Jackson is MJ's drone for 11 years. What a way to live your life.

Re: Jackson and Van Gundy accuse MJ of 'faking' flu game
I remember reports of him actually puking. That said I think the Pip carrying thing was probably a lil overdone or perhaps he was delerious.

Even if it was fake, I don't want to know about it. It was inspirational to my 12 year old self.

Jordan was faking it. A few years down the road, Kobe followed suit, pretending he got food poisoning. These two were such clowns and drama queens.

Re: Jackson and Van Gundy accuse MJ of 'faking' flu game
it was clearly a joke. if pierce can play well with a knee injury, MJ can play well with a flu.
seriously, MJ at 40 is still one hell of a player. Being in your prime while having a flu is surely be better than playing at 40

Mark Jackson brought up MJ versus the Jazz in the finals and here is the back and forth dialogue:
What do you guys think? Sour grapes? I remember watching that game live over a decade ago and have watched it several times since and he looked pretty bad, eyes were red and puffy, Pippen helping him off the floor afterward... I have it on DVD, might have to have another look and form a mature opinion, but I think he was legitimately very, vey ill.
What is your opinion? Truly sick, Faking it or a case of the sniffles but working the crowd?
lol.
