“I’m 100 percent certain it wasn’t food poisoning,” he said on 1280 The Zone in Utah. “Or, it wasn’t that pizza.”

Fite also said he delivered it, along with one other person, poking more holes in the story.

“The crap story the guy said, that there was five people, there was two of us — and I didn’t even have that many people working at the time at the store — but there was two of us,” Fite said.

Jordan was the only person in the room who ate the pizza. Director Jason Hehir said Jordan hadn’t eaten dinner and wouldn’t let anybody else eat any of the pizza.

Just because it wasn't deliberately "poisoned" doesn't mean it didn't make MJ sick.

Yeah but Jordan's lies are the GOAT lies.

LeBron can't even get a pic of that graffiti.

Well Jordan doesn't lie to try to incite a race war though. So there's that.

I mean, have you seen the way Jazz fans and Utah are portrayed (fair or not).

Jordan ordering Pizza Hut...it's one of the larger stains on his image the documentary left.

Whole lotta weirdness about the story

5 guys delivering a pizza to the hotel as if they were absolutely certain it was for MJ or another player (i guess someone from hotel room service could’ve tipped them off but still seems far fetched)

MJ crushing a whole pizza the night before a finals game. Players eat like shite or whatever they want on reg season roadtrips but everyone’s in the zone come playoff time and there’s more time to eat right versus city and hotel hopping during back to backs. I’ve heard stories of people eating crazy pregame meals but a guy as locked in and fiercely competitive as MJ smashing a whole pizza the night before a game doesn’t seem like an MJ thing.

And why settle for some random pizza? They couldn’t send an intern or trainer into the city for some McDonald’s or something? I know they were staying on the outskirts and its fricking mormonville out there but they could’ve found SOMETHING less sketchy.

Im thinking it’s possible just got carried away playing cards with the guys and just got hammered or something THEN smashed a whole pizza and his body was like “hol’ up there GOAT”

I had a couple friends in Beijing for the olympics and the bball team was at McDonalds for every single meal smashing all of it. Those guys aren't healthy eaters for the most part it seems

I mean why is this guy proud 2 people delivered the pizza. I have ordered pizza a ton of times and never had a 2nd person at the door

Dude, MJ would drink the night before playoff games around poker tables. He smoked cigars before playoff games. He played golf the day of playoff games.

They covered this. They called all over the place looking for delivery food and this was the only place they could get to bring him something.

Well, they admitted it was 2 guys. So that would be weird on its own. They must've known somehow. Probably a locked down floor as well, so that might've tipped them off.

Still definitely possible. But MJ is a booze hound. It would take a lot to make him be puking all night from drinking. I can't imagine he drank a fifth of whiskey or something like that. It had to be a stomach virus or food poisoning.

This is coming from someone who, himself, is a very heavy drinker.

Also as someone with a petri dish of a toddler, you can get a 12-24 hour stomach virus that feels JUST like food poisoning.

Isn't it plausible that when they got to the hotel with the pizza and told a staff member that they were delivering it to that particular room, that a few of the guys working at the hotel tagged along to hopefully get to see Mike?

The entire Last Dance was an opportunity for Jordan to lie about his past.

He knows damn well why his father was killed

He was kicked out for that and gambling

He was drunk during the finals. Not food poisoning or the flu.

He used 10 hours to try and recreate his legacy and still came out like an a-hole.

Very heavy might be a overstatement normally, but quarantine has led to, let's just say, some really poor habits

Yes, very plausible.
