There’s no way to know what ultimately caused MJ to get sick the night before Game 5 in 1997, but the man who claims to have made his pizza is adamant he did nothing wrong.
in Salt Lake City on Monday, Fite explained that someone from the Bulls called the store where he was working as an assistant manager and ordered “large, thin and crispy, extra pepperoni pizza,” without saying whom it was for. Fite, as the only Bulls fan working, says he took it upon himself to make the pizza and go with the driver on the delivery to make sure nothing happened to it.
On Episode 9 of the ESPN documentary series “The Last Dance,” Jordan, his personal trainer Tim Grover and his longtime friend George Koehler explained that Jordan ate an entire pizza the night before Game 5 and woke up feeling sick. He almost didn’t dress for the game, but ultimately did and dropped 38 points to give the Bulls a 3-2 series lead.
While there’s no way to know what ultimately caused Jordan to get sick, Fite is adamant he did nothing wrong. “That pizza was made well, I followed all the rules,” Fite says. “I’m 100 per cent certain it wasn’t food poisoning or it for sure as heck wasn’t that pizza.”
