What are some things about Jordan most people don't know?

I've seen things thrown around on here about MJ playing baseball because he would've been suspended for gambling and that his gambling played a part in his dad's death. For the younger crowd, can you guys elaborate?
Was he really going to be suspended? Was he betting on NBA games he was playing in? How did that factor into his dad's murder?
Also, why do people generally loathe Kobe for his personality but MJ is regarded as the GOAT when he was/is worse in terms of berating players?

Nostalgia
Kobe is a rapist
Jordan is a degenerate gambler who cheated on his wife publicly and punched teammates on multiple occasions
Yet LeBron gets hated on because he left CLE to go to Miami Florida

Now ask yourself how much sense it makes to privately suspend the best player ever.
Don't listen to the retards here.

Jordan played for the Bulls. Kobe played for the Lakers.

In those days it was rare for sophomores to make varsity. Herring made one exception in 1978, one designed to remedy his team's height disadvantage. This is part of the reason Mike Jordan went home and cried in his room after reading the two lists. It wasn't just that his name was missing from the varsity roster. It was also that as he scanned the list he saw the name of another sophomore, one of his close friends, the 6'7" Leroy Smith.
Over the next three decades Jordan would become a world-class collector of emotional wounds, a champion grudge-holder, a magician at converting real and imagined insults into the rocket fuel that made him fly. If he had truly been cut that year, as he would claim again and again, he wouldn't have had such an immediate chance for revenge. But in fact his name was on the second list, the jayvee roster, with the names of many of his fellow sophomores. Jordan quickly became a jayvee superstar.

He was a sophomore who was on the JV team, he was never "cut" as people like to report

LeBron is the biggest prima donna in the history of sports. It has nothing to do with the decision. The guy is a grade A douche.

oh you know him? How did you guys meet?

So it's better to be a terrible person than a prima donna? LeBron has never been involved in anything sketchy off the court, always a great teammate, etc.

Sitting and crying at half court of a Conference Finals game because you got fouled makes you a douche. I don't have to know him to know that.

Jordan had to be the best at everything, always had to win. Rather it was basketball, golf, shooting pool, or whatever... but one thing he could do nothing about was that scottie pippens dick was bigger than his. And one night as madona pulled up to pick up scottie mj made some kind of remark as to he could satisfy her better than pip... she told him no chance!

Chose #23 because #45 wasn't available and 23 was half of 45 (almost). 45 was his brothers # and he wanted to honor him.

Since when does someone need to know someone to know he has douche like tendencies?
There is a 20 something year old dude constantly driving around my neighborhood with his windows down blaring the bass out of his car wearing white sunglasses. Pretty safe to assume he's a giant douche.
Regarding LeBron, pretty safe to assume anyone that has the chosen one tattooed on his back and calls himself the King is a giant douche as well.
