MJ transcended the sport.
People who were never fans of basketball now wanted to know more about the sport, and its personalities/what they had to sell.
That made MJ a Billionaire.
Now jerks like LeBron are turning away the casual fans, but long term fans as well.
We still think highly of MJ, and purchase AirJordan items. He was/is a class act. A role model missing in today’s NBA.
LeBron, does he even sell anything people want to buy? Is he just an ego?
