Part 2/6:
The story begins in Philadelphia, where Michael Jordan has just wrapped up a practice session with his team. With plans to venture to Atlantic City for a night of gambling after an obligatory dinner, Jordan's attention is subtly diverted towards the vibrant nightlife in the city. His friend, the storyteller, piqued his interest by insisting that a particular club was exceptional. Despite Jordan's initial resistance, claiming he wasn’t interested in visiting strip joints, persuasion prevailed.
“I said, just come by for half an hour,” his friend recalls, emphasizing the urgency and excitement of the moment. It was a brief escape before the night’s gambling escapades. Eventually, Jordan agreed to make an appearance, and it was set – they would hit the club, and then off to Atlantic City.
