Chapter 40 Win Only, Not Lose

Halftime break, in the visitors' locker room of the Memorial Coliseum, Jordan took off his left sock.

There was a swollen abscess on his left big toe, and the team doctor shook his head at the sight of it, saying, "Oh Michael, that must hurt a lot, it seems to have gotten bigger since before the game."

Jordan said, "That's stating the obvious, think of a way to make it better, I still have to play the second half."

The team doctor said, "I think... I think the best thing to do would be to cut it open, let the pus drain, and then apply some anti-inflammatory and bandage it."

"Then can I still play in the second half?"

"Of course not, you need to rest."

"That's not an option, let's talk about it after I finish this game."

With that, Jordan put his sock back on, and the team doctor could only shrug.
