Summary

Anybody who's seen Space Jam knows Michael Jordan took a year off from dominating the NBA in 1993 to try his hand at baseball. Sara sits down with Andrew Jenks, filmmaker and host of the What Really Happened? podcast, to delve into a conspiracy theory that Jordan really tried baseball because he was forced into a year-long suspension. But investigating this conspiracy leads them both to the murder of James Jordan, Michael Jordan's father. Two men were convicted of the murder, but one is claiming his innocence. So the question remains: What really happened to James Jordan? And did his death have anything to do with Michael's so-called retirement? Learn more about your ad choices.
