If only Jordan had the money to pay off a gambling debt. Oh wait... Theory is beyond stupid

Jordan's dad was killed by a Lumbee Indian and a black guy from rural North Carolina. They both went to prison for life and they're both still alive. If this was a mob hit, the two guys who killed MJ's dad would've also been killed.

He was gambling not necessarily on games but remember this was at the same time rose was being banned for life
NBA was definitely concerned with the image and look

He was mentally drained and his dad was just murdered.
So you switch to a sport that will take more mental and physical work than the one you're currently playing?
He was a gambling addict and a serial adulterer

The whole series on ESPN is about how the guy cant avoid competition. No way he just sits on his own.
He didnt just sit on the couch for a year and a half. There was that whole baseball thing he was doing

Are you implying that baseball is more physically demanding than basketball?

There's a good podcast called What Really Happened. They look into all kinds of events and present a conclusion. They made a compelling argument that he was sick of the media circus.

He didn't pay off his gambling debt and that person who didn't get his money murdered his dad. It became such a traumatic experience he retired.
