| Kasz216 said: Conspiracy theories I believe may be true. 1) Michael Jordan quit basketball for a couple years because the NBA found out he bet on NBA Games. Michael Jordan, is universally seen as the best basketball player by something like 97% of people who pay attention to basketball. There really to my knowledge isn't another sport in which there is one person so dominantly considered the best. Today, Michael Jordan acts as if nobody thinks he's the best, he seems bitter, used his hall of fame speech to belittle people who dismissed him... in HIGHSCHOOL and he's made it clear that he'd be playing TODAY if his body could handle it. He also came back out of retirement before despite being richer then hell. I'm supposed to believe this guy said in the middle of his prime... "nope, i'm good, i've proven everything." Michael Jordan is the kind of guy who's never satisfied. |
Saw the ESPN film on him riding the bus (going to play baseball). It was actually pretty decent and explained a little. He was going through a pretty rough time when his father was murdered. Supposedly, his father wanted him to play professional baseball and it was something they talked about before his death. Since Jordan pitched in high school he couldn't really just jump into baseball and play basketball at the same time (couldn't play 2 sports at once like Bo Jackson, Deon Sanders, etc). He had to work a lot on his swing and pretty much everything else. They mentioned the betting in the film but almost everyone dismissed it as a reason why he took a break. So him taking a break from basketball and trying baseball was more with him dealing with his father's death than anything else.
