Yeah but that makes sense. What sense does it make for the NBA to secretly suspend anyone? You think they made a deal with Jordan's creditors / mob?? "Hey guys, instead of killing his family, we will suspend him for like a year and 4 months. He'll really learn his lesson. We got this K thanks"

I mean you realize how retarded that sounds right?

Jordan has too much money and pride not to pay his debts

Paying the golf debts is how his gambling came to light

I think his dad's murder was a random act

I think Jordan thought he was greater than he really was and his pride got the best of him

Plus he hated krause with a passion

My theory is jordan paid his debts
Jordan got called out by stern
Jordan told stern frick you and your league and gave stern an ultimatum. Back off of my personal life or I will quit.
Stern called his bluff so Jordan quit to play baseball and give a big frick you to stern and jerry Krause

Jordan struggled in baseball knew he was too old to ever get to the show so he went back to basketball a little more humbled.

Stern helped him buy the bobcats to make peace with Jordan

There never was a suspension


Yeah I pretty much agree with all that , I would say though that from all the stuff I've read about MJ(quite a bit) , it was probably more because of "crumbs" than Stern.

Reinsdorf and jackson were the peace makers that got Jordan to come back

And regarding conspiracies... at some point everything comes out. As of now there has been nothing but speculation about this. No sources.
