re: 20 years ago today, MJ left basketball

Why isn't he labeled a quitter for leaving his team high and dry? LBJ left a shitty franchise, but at least he was no longer under contract. MJ decided he wasn't going to play basketball anymore, in the prime of his career, days before the season started, to go strike out in baseball three times a night. Nothing odd about that at all...



This all is a bit before my time. Are there any good books that dive into the conspiracy theories surrounding MJ's baseball career?? Would love to hear some undisclosed details about the whole ordeal
