Why am I not surprised to see Michael Jordan's name appear as a svengali in this ESPN article about how former Celtics star Antoine Walker blew through $110 million?
"They got down about $150,000," Maxwell said. "But by the end of the day MJ told Antoine, 'These cards are gonna change.'"Maxwell recalls Jordan and Walker winning big that night. He calls it "the opening act" and says Jordan's influence on his protégé was considerable.
I'm increasingly belonging to the conspiracy camp led by Bill Simmons convinced that Michael Jordan's "retirement" to play baseball was actually a secret suspension given to him by commish David Stern.
