So Jordan had a 7 figure gambling debt shortly before the 1993 Finals and then he "retired" a few months later.
Hmm

If this is true, it definitely gives some merit to the Jordan secret suspension theory.
The NBA in the late 70's/early 80's was hemorrhaging money and could not sell tickets or get sponsors until they fell arse backwards into the GOAT player/team rivalry. Then as Magic/Bird start getting older after saving the league, along comes this scoring, dunking, marketing cash cow unlike anything seen before in sports history.
All that happened under Stern. Imagine the black eye the NBA would've had if peak Jordan's gambling addiction became public knowledge. Everything Stern did to save the league would've been undone.
