Brehs what made Michael Jordan so special?

[Optimus Prime]

We was a real life superhero. The shoes, the commercials, the dunk contests vs Dominique, 63 against Bird & the 86 Celtics, Magic & Isaiah freezing him out at the all-star game, the shot, the shot II, the last shot, Carolina Blue, The Jordan Rules, "Like Mike, If I could be Like Mike". Jordan Vs Bird for Atari, Nintendo, & Sega, PRO-STARS, Mars Blackmon, "Its Gotta to Be the Shoes", Baggy Shorts, new pair of shoes every game, WGN the SUPERSTATION broadcast EVERY BULLS game on EVERY cable network in the country, black shoes in the playoffs, the tongue, the unstoppable reverse on EA's Lakers vs. Celtics / Bulls vs. Blazers, the DREAM TEAM, #45 , the golden era or Sportscenter, the #23 Red Bulls Jersey...

Other than being great, the marketing around him was insane. Maybe the first athlete really turn himself into a brand.

maybe? the shoe game was damn near invented for this nikka...

His melanin.



And love for little non-black thangs.

Ive never been into NBA so i dont get the love that people have for this man.

He starred in the 1996 animation movie Space Jam.

That was instrumental in making him one of the most highly regarded basketball players in the NBA. The Championship rings are a close second.

 

[Roadie pipeher]

during 80s huge crack epidemic in the inner cities. Most people grew up without fathers and watched tv and the league was pushing Jordan so it was natural as children they view him as a father figure.

...you suck at this humor thing, Kobe stan. Also quite caclian of you...

Jordan's legend has very little to do with basketball though. Kobe is better, LeBron is better. Magic was better, Bird was better. However they can't match his legend.

 

[beenz]

he birthed alot of the current trends in the NBA.

bald head
baggy shorts
leg sleeve
compression shorts
ankle socks

had coolest shoes

plus was the GOAT, had a gang of legendary games, and was 6/6 in winning ships

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

he came along before the internet and 24/7 on demand video/music

people back in the 90s were basically forced to watch whatever came on TV and the media dikkrode him into everyone's living room

nikkas know got more shyt to do than sit in front of a tv all day and be told LeBron is the GOAT

you might be on to something here
