Flu Game 12 Retro Ugly Christmas Sweater 1997 Game 5 38 Sick Points 2025 Knit Holiday Pullover With Black And Red Basketball Pattern

The Flu Game 12 Retro Ugly Christmas Sweater is a premium holiday pullover that commemorates one of the most legendary performances in NBA history when Michael Jordan delivered an unforgettable 38-point performance during Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals on June 11, 1997, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Despite battling severe flu-like symptoms that were later revealed to be food poisoning, Jordan played 44 grueling minutes to lead the Chicago Bulls to a crucial 90-88 victory over the Utah Jazz, giving his team a commanding 3-2 series lead. This iconic knit holiday sweater pays tribute to the black and red Nike Air Jordan XII sneakers that Jordan wore during this historic game, featuring a distinctive basketball pattern in the signature Bulls colorway that has become synonymous with championship excellence. The game itself showcased Jordan’s unmatched mental toughness as he struggled in the first quarter, erupted for 17 points in the second quarter, and then sealed the victory with seven points during a crucial 10-0 run in the fourth quarter that erased Utah’s 77-69 lead. His clutch 3-pointer with less than 30 seconds remaining gave Chicago the lead they would not relinquish, culminating in the unforgettable image of teammate Scottie Pippen helping an exhausted Jordan off the court. The Bulls went on to capture their fifth NBA championship in seven years just two days later on June 13, 1997, with a 90-86 Game 6 victory at the United Center, cementing Jordan’s legacy as the greatest clutch performer in basketball history. This 2025 edition ugly Christmas sweater combines nostalgic sports history with festive holiday fashion, making it the perfect gift for Bulls fans, sneakerheads who appreciate the Air Jordan 12 legacy, and basketball enthusiasts who want to celebrate one of sports’ most inspiring moments of perseverance and determination during the holiday season. The design captures the essence of 1990s NBA culture while providing comfortable warmth for winter celebrations, office parties, and casual gatherings where sports fans can showcase their knowledge of basketball’s greatest moments.​
