Rick Santorum compares doing debate with Laryngitis to Michael Jordan ‘flu game’

SHARE Rick Santorum compares doing debate with Laryngitis to Michael Jordan ‘flu game’

On June 11, 1997, battling flu symptoms, Michael Jordan scored 38 points to help the Chicago Bulls beat the Utah Jazz 90-88.

The Bulls’ win that night gave them a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals, and helped propel Jordan and company to the NBA title.

Fast forward 18 years later, and Rick Santorum says he will be putting on a performance just as legendary in the undercard of tomorrow’s Republican presidential debate.

Battling Laryngitis, Santorum plans to debate through the pain in Milwaukee despite not being a part of the main debate with the likes of Ben Carson and Donald Trump that will attract millions of viewers later in the evening.

Somewhere, MJ is impressed.
