Walk it off -- Best performances in wake of injury, illness

You know a performance is incredible when people refer to it in capital letters. That's how you know Michael Jordan's "Flu Game," which occurred 25 years ago on this date, is the stuff of legends. Jordan's efforts while sick against the Utah Jazz is one of the most memorable moments of his career -- and considering this is MJ we're talking about, that's saying something.
