No. Not at all. It's just easier for me to digest it that way, cosidering MJ is a real asshole.

For a quote, I cite what Ron Shelton (director of the MJ 30 for 30 documentary) told the Chicago Tribune:

“I probably, like most people in America, thought he left the NBA for a year because of gambling,” Shelton told us Monday. “After researching the project, I was utterly convinced that was nonsense. And probably like most people, I thought he was a catastrophically bad baseball player. And after researching it, I got a different view about that, as well….”

“Everybody that I talked to said they spent hundreds of hours looking for smoking guns and there is not even a leak; it’s just circumstantial. It’s just a theory."
