Exactly 18 years ago today, Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to their sixth NBA title by defeating the Utah Jazz, 87-86.
Jordan dropped 38 points with seven rebounds and five assists in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals…with the flu.
MJ was crowned MVP of the finals, ending his epic run with the Bulls on a high note before temporarily retiring from the NBA.
