The Time Michael Jordan Skipped A White House Visit To Gamble With A Drug Dealer

Jordan’s original excuse is that he was going on a family vacation, but it turns out that the true cause of his absence — golfing and gambling with drug dealer James “Slim” Bouler.

Per Yahoo Sports:

“In fact, Jordan was golfing (and gambling) with James ‘Slim’ Bouler — a drug dealer who would eventually be convicted for money laundering.

The federal government seized a check from Jordan to Bouler for $57,000, which Jordan originally claimed was for a loan.

The Bulls champion later testified in court that the money was for what he had lost gambling on golf with Bouler.”
