Although the FBI dropped its investigation of Mr. Jordan's gambling when the latter abruptly quit the sport of professional basketball due to 'burn-out' for 18 'convenient' months back in 1993-94, it has always been my suspicion that the G.O.A.T. would have been taken down big-time for high-stakes gambling back in the day---had the Feds not taken the spotlight off of him while he was away from the game...

Michael Jordan, number twenty-three Greatest of all time, that ever be? He and his Bulls were sure 'a-rambling' Till he ran afoul of his penchant for gambling

I did not know that! Whoa...And good title! Clever and surprising! Mr. Jordan is such a class act and talented athlete. I’m so glad that gambling didn’t cut his magnificent career short.
