US EditionMichael Jordan Criticizes Load Management in Latest Installment of NBC Conversation
- In the Tuesday episode of 'MJ: Insights to Excellence,' Michael Jordan told NBC's Mike Tirico he didn't believe in load management, saying, `Well, it shouldn't be needed, first and foremost.`
- As an entertainer, Jordan said he felt a duty to fans who paid for tickets and argued missing games costs chances to prove oneself; he added, `Yeah, because I know he's probably yelling at me and I want to shut him up.`
- Long ago, Jordan recalled the June 11, 1997 'Flu Game' when he was bedridden until about 90 minutes before tip yet still scored 38 points despite food poisoning.
- Jordan's actions helped deliver a title and a 1998 clinching moment, but Utah Jazz fans still insist he pushed off and Utah arena wireless network carried the name "JordanPushedOff" as recently as Monday.
- Framing a broader contrast, Jordan said, `I was going to find a way to get out there, even if I was a decoy`, highlighting how team needs pushed him to play despite pain, unlike modern load management.
