“Over the Japanese dude sitting on your face” in 1976 Ali “fought” a Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki in a mixed rules match. Not much really happened in the bout aside from jabs and leg kicks.

*"Man you make me sick, but I'm better with the flu"* _Michael Jordan was known for the 'Flu-Game, the 1997 finals against Utah while having flu symptoms caused by alleged food poisoning. Scored 38 points. Awesome line_

[@wut274]

Wow!! This is a big part of why I'm such a huge fan of ERB, I think almost every line must relate to some historical situation or fact and I learn something new nearly every time I binge them. 🤣

[@scourge8097]

It doesn't even dawn on me at times that people don't know what the reference is. Also...just a side not, but 38 in that particular era is more akin to...45-50 now. I don't recall the final score of that game, but the average games were in the 80s or a high scoring game was in the 90s. Jordan was just...next level. LeBron is great, but Jordan was...different. He was psychotic in his competitive nature. That shit was unhealthy, but it made him that great.

[@assyriancomedycentral1753]

MJ and Walter Payton both played their games with the Flu.
