DiGiorno pizza hits home run with incredible Michael Jordan tweet

Michael Jordan

DiGiorno pizza absolutely knocked it out of the park with a tremendous tweet on Sunday night.

Episode 9 of “The Last Dance” documentary talked about Michael Jordan’s infamous “flu game”, which was Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz.

Though Jordan did have flu symptoms prior to the game, MJ and his trainer have said the effects were due to food poisoning.

As the story goes, MJ was really hungry late one night, and nothing was open in Utah. His friends called around looking for food and found a pizza place that was open late, like around 10 pm, that was willing to deliver a pizza. Jordan’s friends suspect the pizza was tainted and made the Bulls star ill.

The telling of the story led to this great tweet from DiGiorno, which is a frozen pizza brand.

Delivery pizza. Go figure.

Delivery pizza still is great as long as the people delivering it aren’t trying to sabotage your team. DiGiorno is also delicious, and they get an A+ for the tweet. By the way, this sort of alleged stuff is nothing new for opposing fans.
