PSA Authentic Full Unused ticket to Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals between the Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls played June 11 1997 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City Utah. It was called "The Flu Game" as Michael Jordan was seriously ill the night before possibly from food poisoning and looked as if he would be unable to play in the crucial Game 5 with the series tied at two games apiece. Jordan arose just about an hour before tip-off from his bed and struggled to get to the arena. Feeling very weak and looking pale Jordan struggled at first to keep up play. As the game went on he fluctuated between feeling poorly and feeling well doing whatever he could for his team. With 25 seconds left Jordan hit a 3-point shot to put the Bulls up 88-85. Ultimately the victory went to Chicago 90-88. When all was said and done Jordan played 44 minutes scoring 38 points with 7 rebounds 5 assists 3 steals and 1 blocked shot. Ticket displays probably EX or better overall condition. There's no creasing but it does have some light indentations about 1/8" in along the left and top borders. Thia is the only full ticket ever handled by PSA for Game 5!
