Michael Jordan is widely hailed as the greatest basketball player of all time. Six championships. Five MVPs. Countless iconic moments. But behind the highlight reels and sneaker ads lies a shadowy side to his story — one filled with whispers, unanswered questions, and conspiracies that still spark debate today.
In Episode 114, the boys dive deep into the legends and mysteries surrounding His Airness. From the infamous “push-off” on Bryon Russell in the 1998 Finals to claims of referee favoritism and league manipulation, they explore the widely held belief that Jordan played by a different set of rules — one enforced not just by talent, but by NBA interests desperate to protect their biggest star.
The episode unpacks the theory that Jordan’s first retirement in 1993 wasn’t voluntary at all, but a quiet suspension related to his high-stakes gambling and potential ties to underworld figures. The timing of his exit — just after the murder of his father, James Jordan — only added fuel to the fire. Was it a tragic coincidence, or something darker?
peel back the polished image and ask: was the NBA protecting its icon at all costs?
Whether you're a die-hard Bulls fan or a skeptic of sports narratives, this episode takes you into the murky waters where fame, power, and truth collide.
