I still say MJ got sick because the pizza might have sat too long before he ate it.

I once got food poisoning eating breakfast sausage links that sat too long before I ate them. Haven't look at breakfast sausage the same way since.
How long did you wait exactly? Days?

My guess is in the playoffs on the road, you don't call a restaurant and say "star player of the opposing team would like some food please".

How did the pizza place know the food was for Jordan? Even if they knew what hotel the opposing team is staying at, the odds are what one in 100 it's even going to any player let alone the star.

He got sick and doesn't know how is most likely.

He would've had to have eaten it long before the game - food poisoning normally sets in a while after you eat it.

Additionally, it's hard to think of anything that could cause food poisoning on a well-cooked pizza - so long as you eat it within 90 minutes of it being delivered.

If it was food poisoning at all, it's more likely what he ate for breakfast or something the day before.
This has always been my experience. If you eat something wrong for dinner, you don't feel sick until late at night, or the morning after.
 
I've had food poisoning set in within just four hours. And I know it was that long because it was the first meal I had eaten in over 24 hours after I was doing catering events and was busy as hell, when I finally managed to sit down and have a meal.

Do we know how long it was before it hit Jordan? The story from the pizza guy sounds like the pizza was possibly delivered around 3-4pm.

Even if it was 4 hours, you'd have to put room-temp pepperoni on it, and then not cook it properly to get sick - or have raw/under-baked dough - which on a thin crust, isn't likely.

I don't know - it seems very unlikely that the pizza is the culprit here.

Its been an open secret since 98. Its amazing how many people are like "Nope. That didnt happen." While we have stories like Weinstein, Trump and Epstein in modern day.

Like I said in the other thread, these top tier nba players always have a side girl with them on the road. There's no way to prove my story until MJ or his trainer, who has now lied twice about this story based on his original story and now this delivery guy calling him out. The security guards are all dead according to the doc director and no one else to confirm who was in the room. Too many holes in the story. Especially his security leaving him to go get dinner.

I still say he was drinking, smoking and fucking one of his side pieces. Maybe he got sick from the girl, maybe he got sick from the windows being open. He didnt get sick from the pizza

Food poisoning almost always takes days to hit someone but it's also possible to occur within hours or take as long as a week. My vote is chlamydia.

When he said he got sick, I just assumed he ordered from Dominos.

His trainer says they got it "late at night" "around 9pm" so fuck who knows anymore

The pizza was delivered at around 10:30-11pm.

Jordan was sick at around 2:30 AM.

I don't think the "5 guys" thing is meant to imply that 5 villainous dudes employed by Puzza Hut showed up with a tainted pizza. Isn't it more likely that the delivery guy, by some means or other, found out he was delivering to MJ, or someone on the Bulls, and picked up some of his boys hoping to catch a once in a lifetime glimpse of someone famous?

And the food poisoning (or not) isn't linked to that at all.

Exactly. The 5 guys were there to try and see MJ.

The way they phrase it and the tone of it being depicted in the show is that everyone was just watching MJ eat a pizza by himself when the fact of the matter is that he's a fucking athlete that could probably down a pizza in two bites. That pizza was meant to be just for him or else more pizza would have been ordered lol

Why are you putting MJ (even if he had mistresses) on the same level as rapists? What are you trying to acomplish here? I say, maybe he drank a few beers, maybe he slept with a prostitute, he still could have food poisining, wtf...

I doubt you ever had one, because the state at that guy was, that sure as fuck was not a hangover, if you know of a sickness that you can get overnight by sleeping with someone other than his wife, just tell us please.

Based on this account, here's what we can reasonably believe, in my opinion:

1. Pizza was in fact ordered and delivered
2. Two guys went from the pizza place, not 5
3. The was a lot of cigar smoking, likely much by MJ.
4. MJ was playing cards in his hotel room with his guys when the pizza was delivered.
5. The pizza was not intentionally tampered with.

That's about it.

MJ has mistresses, he got sued by one.

...the flu. From swapping body fluids and drinking out of the same cups/bottles.

My original post in the other thread included Kobe(also a rapist) Magic and Shaq all cheating on their wives in the other thread. Simple secrets everyone knew in the open but no one spoke about. Certain posters in the OT thread think its crazy that MJ had side women he paid or that he'd stay up all night drinking before a big game(he did it for the Olympic Gold Medal game too, probably others we dont have stories about too).

I just used these three scumbags because they were non sports stories with open secrets that the public knew.

Feel free to read the Last Dance OT. I already went through this with NinjaScooter in there.

Any sacrilegious omissions of hookers and CIA cover ups in your write up means that it fails.

We all know what really happened.

George Koehler (Jordan's bodyguard): Mike was throwing up everywhere. He was flying around the room like a fire hose, throwing up on the curtains, the ceiling, everything. He threw up so hard that his eye popped out.

Michael Jordan: No one throws up better than Michael Jordan, and I proved it that night. I'm the best in the world at basketball and throwing up and crafts and swimming.

Phil Jackson: When we got to the stadium, Michael was still in no shape to play. He was lying in a heap on the locker room floor, only breathing every 20 seconds or so. I could sense that he needed some words of wisdom. I knelt down next to him, peeled open his eyelids, and said, "Michael, today is basketball. " And right when I finished talking, he released his bladder. You could tell I'd gotten through to him.

I'm in tears.
 
The pizza was delivered at around 10:30-11pm.

Jordan was sick at around 2:30 AM.

Ooo...the plot thickens then!
Where did you find that out? Is it in the documentary?

The likelihood of a thin crust pepperoni pizza having food poisoning due to improper preparation is still incredibly low, just based on how pizza is cooked and how warm it would've been upon delivery. All that would've killed most bacteria.

...but there is a chance, if it was delivered that early.

efr has a specific scenario he believes happened that specific night. Efr doesn't have evidence or corroborating statements from anyone that this is what happened that night. Instead they provide information that make it *possible* that MJ could have done this to match his specific scenario. That's about it.

When I worked at Six Flags in college, I learned that Papa John's wouldn't serve anything but cheese or pepperoni in the park because the other toppings (ham and sausage specifically) spoil too quickly, and combined with the exertion from the heat gives food poisoning.

efr believes that Michael Jordan and his team completely fabricated a story about having food poisoning because if he admitted the truth, that he had the flu, people would realize he got the flu from having sex with a prostitute. Yes, it's as stupid as it sounds, but its important you have that context when you are trying to make sense of these inane ramblings.

I'm not speaking to his pizza. I'm speaking generally. He could have had food poisoning from anything.
