Kudos to Sam Smith for saying the same thing I always say when it comes to this Jordan conspiracy. David Stern supposedly telling MJ to lay low for 17 months until the gambling issue blows over. What a joke.
Just like Sam said, you can't keep a secret like that. Someone will talk, they always do. Just look at Tiger Woods. Big names can't keep secrets like that.
And Stern would never tell the biggest star in the sports world to leave. And like Steve Kerr said, he didn't do anything illegal. He gambled with his own money.
I likes the film. Liked the way they talked to all the people involved with the Birmingham Barons.
I wish they would have showed the footage of Jordan playign for the Sox in the Cubs/Sox crosstown Classic (back when it was an exhibition game in early April). I remember him having a hit, and being on base when some Sox prospect hit a home run.
Harry Carey said something like "That man will tell his kids 'I hit a home run at Wrigley Field, and you'll never guess who was on base'"
The fans were booing a Cubs pitcher whenever they threw Jordan a ball. lol. It was classic.
WGN must have the video under lock and key because I haven't seen any highlights from that game since.
