30 years ago, I ALWAYS thought something smelled with the timing of him going off to the Birmingham Barons to play AA Baseball. JUST before, he and his Dad were under the microscope for some BIG TIME gambling......Mostly Golf related, if I recall. His Dad is found dead in a North Carolina river, tied to concrete blocks. His Dad was a HUGE man and they blame.......a skinny 13 year old??? Jordan goes off to play Baseball. When he returns, there was never a PEEP about his Dad or anything with gambling. At the time, he was THE face of the NBA. Imagine what was at stake. The Gambling World is a SHAAAAAADY thing.
