Michael Jordan’s Gambling Scandal with David Zwick

You might know Michael Jordan from the timeless film Space Jam, his hilarious Hanes commercials, or from playing hella good basketball. But if you’re part of a select group, you might remember Michael Jordan from the high stakes world of sports gambling. That’s right, ol ‘Air’ Jordan had a gambling problem. But could that gambling problem be behind his stunning 1993 retirement? Guest David Zwick has a theory that the NBA commissioner’s office gave Jordan a choice - either disappear for a couple years to play baseball, or we take you down for betting on the outcome of your own games. This STUNNING turn of events is discussed at length, as well as lots of sports trivia, some talk about the existential nature of sports, and of course Katelyn’s hollow bird bones.
