He did have the flu game, but there are theories out there that is was really the hangover game.
If true, playing with a hangover is 1000 times worse than playing with an hand injury sustained while punching Something. Because the hand thing requires a momentary lapse in judgment. The hangover requires many bad decisions over a period of time.
Hangover/flu would actually be far worse, injuries can be temporarily pain free with some shot of whatever they give football players. No remedies for a flu or hangover and to be doing the cardio you have to do in a game doesn't help.
So you are really suggesting that a hangover is worse to play through than a broken shooting hand?
You don't really believe that do you?
It is unlikely Jordan had the flu. It was either a hangover or food poisining. Either are difficult to play with, as is the flu. But a broken shooting hand is far more impactful. I have tried playing both with stomach ailments and with a broken shooting hand. The stomach bug went a lot better. Sorry, but you are wrong here.
NO!!!!!!Think this is an intriguing topic to debate. Was wondering what people here thought about it. Is LeBron better than MJ?
broken hand!?!?!?!?!? guy played 3 games without any sort of cast or bandage on his hand, still scored like 20-30 points with a broken shooting hand?!?!??!So you are really suggesting that a hangover is worse to play through than a broken shooting hand?

LOL
It is reported as a bone contusion.
Not broken, but similar in terms of impact to a minor break.

You've never heard of menudo (the mexican soup, not the phegget singing group)?
Taco Bell tacos also work. 3 of them to be exact.
Did he dunk at all with this bone contusion? Because if there was a serious problem with the hand, dunking would be the last thing you'd do.
Oh..there was this.
Don't you see the pattern here?
This is towing the company line. I can't stand Lebron but he is a money making machine for the NBA.
The sports media, networks, the players ..none of them benefit if they say Lebron is not in MJ's league.
Look at what is happening right now. ...do you see ESPN or any of the media calling Lebron irresponsible for punching a blackboard after the first game of the finals? It's like it never happen ...they have gone right to free agency mania.
Could you imagine if Kevin Love did that ..ESPN would have written an article:
"Should Kevin Love leave the country after his childish act"
.
Outlets don't say LeBron's in the GOAT conversation because he's not. There's MJ & then everyone else. 6-0 & 6 Finals MVP's says it all. My bad, please continue your rant. And before you say something silly because I have 3 teams from the state of Ohio listed as my favorites I'm actually a lifelong Celtics fan.
The media is a lot smarter than that. You know the trick.
The write endless articles asking "Is Lebron as good as Jordon?"
The do that with everything when making a point. It's the oldest trick in the book.
the Pistons in 2007 definitely were the favorites.
