Steph Curry amazingly wears Michael Jordan’s ‘flu game’ shoes before Jazz game originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Utah Jazz aren’t immune to shots from Steph “Petty King” Curry.
Before Monday’s game between the Warriors and Jazz at Chase Center, Curry, a sneaker free agent, entered the arena wearing Michael Jordan’s infamous “flu game” Jordan XIIs.
During the 1997 NBA Finals, Jordan fought through flu-like symptoms to score 38 points to help the Chicago Bulls beat the … Jazz … in Game 5 to take a three-games-to-two series lead.
Curry switched to Jordan 14s for his pregame warmups Monday night.
Since parting ways with Under Armour on Nov. 13, Curry has been wearing different shoes as he arrives at arenas and during pregame warmups.
Once the game begins, Curry has been wearing his own Curry Brand shoes.
As Curry pays tribute to Jordan, the 37-year-old is one 40-point game away from breaking a tie with the six-time NBA champion for most such games after turning 30 years old.
The Warriors are in desperate need of a win, so there would be no better time for Curry to drop a 40-piece on the Jazz.
