A conspiracy theory I've actually never heard before, hurray! Remember when Jordan retired after the Bulls first 3-peat? Dude went to pro baseball for the White Sox, sucked ass and ended up in Birmingham Alabama sucking ass on the Barons. Filmed Space Jam. Then he finally came back to basketball and led the Bulls to another 3-peat, cementing his legacy.
Ever wondered why the fuck a man with his psychotic...and I mean fucking psychotic!....competitive drive would just walk away from the sport he was dominating? To play a sport he sucked at for a year and a half? That makes no sense.
Check this out:
--- "In 1992, after winning his second championship, Jordan was called to testify in the criminal trial of James Bouler to explain why why Bouler, a convicted drug dealer, was in possession of a Jordan-signed personal check for $57,000.
First, Jordan claimed it was a business loan, but under oath he admitted that it was a payment for on gambling losses for a single weekend.
Then, in early 1993, San Diego businessman Richard Equinas revealed in his book Michael and Me: Our Gambling Addiction...My Cry for Help that he had won over $900,000 from Jordan in golf betting.
Around the same time, MJ was spotted in an Atlantic City casino in the early hours on the morning of Game Two of the Eastern Conference Finals.
After the Bulls won their third championship, the NBA launched an investigation into Jordan's gambling problems to check whether he had violated any league rules. Then, four months later Jordan stunned the world by suddenly retiring from professional basketball.
At the press conference when he was asked if he would ever return he said, " Five years down the road, if the urge comes back, if the Bulls will have me, if David Stern lets me back in the league, I may come back."
Now why in the world would Jordan ever say if David Stern lets him back, then maybe he would come back when the reporter didn't mention Stern's name at all in his question?
Only days after Jordan announced his retirement, the league dropped its investigation, saying he did nothing wrong.
Was there a secret agreement between Jordan and Stern where Stern told him to simply retire and create a distraction so that he wouldn't face a suspension and have his huge marketable name stay clean?"

Oh the article doesn't mention it, but I remember when his dad was randomly murdered and there were all kinds of rumors swirling around at the time about gambling debts possibly being the cause. But that's fucked up and who knows?
Anyway, what do you think? I can believe it. Mainly because of how competitive Jordan is. Doesn't make sense to walk away at his peak. The Bulls could've had 7 back to back championships if he'd stayed.
And btw, no players since him have ANYTHING for prime Jordan. GOAT right there
