bron is not on ai level as far as fan/general population permeation.
ai made people wear reebok.
more than the female athletic/yogi gen that brought reebok to dominance
bron incomparison has only four shoes that even come close to ai's permeation in shoes.
while the entire ai line of shoes on reebok are retro'd.
when reebok is owned by the three stripes but they still produce them.
bron has not changed styling culturally anywhere...ai just last night could have single-handidly brought back.
hoop j's with baggy jeans, jerseys and starter style jackets from one appearance.
bron is dope but he isn't challenging the status quo and saying fukk you to legends and coaches.
also bron had one tv spot for his fa selection,...but real talk,...ai launched steven a's journalism show and career, singlehandidly.
plus it would have stayed on if espn did not tinker with the timeslotting & scheduling.

it was refreshing to see a real nikka dressed like a real nikka last night.
if you think red hornrim glasses and screech's wardrobe on westbrook is lighting the world afire,..then you are stoopid.
only one white bytch dressed like westbrook and she was from oklahoma.
you do the math,...goofie.
only okc personality i will ever let influence me is charlie wilson,..past that.
you can forget another bball player influencing popular culture as much as ai after jordan, did.

Yeah his kick game was sick when he lost that Nike contract.
lol at kobe even rests in front of mj like mj,...
nobody rested and held their shorts like mj, before mj.....
everybody else's shorts were to little and short.
mike started nikkaz wearing baggy shorts,...plus nikkaz just like kobe is doing here rested on the ball court like mike too.

you are not acknowledging the fact ivo made people support reebok as a bball shoe company for real.
if ai was on nike,..he would have been even bigger amd real talk would still be playing in the league.
as nike's connection and permeation aids all bball players after jordan signed there.
bron is big enough for nike, but real talk,..if ai was on nike.
it would have been even bigger and the shoe would be a way bigger deal than any other shoe not named jordan.
real talk imo,...i think jordan/nike has the Added apparel they have now from an urban ideal because of ai's permeation.
nike was not worried about street gear or an elbow pad till ai.
ai single-handidly forced or made other companies.
jump in other arenAs to capitalize on ai's reach being so broad in apparel.

We're crediting this man with baldness now? And then we're calling baldness a cultural impact?
I mentioned shoes but I wouldn't call that a cultural impact. But whatever...
Post the numbers. I would assume the numbers increased just like they have every decade in every sport. You're crediting Jordan for basic economics now?
DEAD SERIOUS but I guess your claim works if you wanna just credit MJ with every fukking thing.
Homosexuality has increased since Jordan started winning championships too.
this is a sports thread.
we did not want to witness your coming out party while discussing two real nikkaz in ai and jordan.
go listen to ymca and get lost rey rey shuttlesworth.

Only read page one but very good points made. I didn't know there were so many Iverson fans left. Everytime I try to bring up this type of topic in real life I find myself defending A.I. and losing just cause I'm out numbered any everyone wants to bring up "practice".
And I know it's been said before but growing up EVERYONE I knew had to have a cross over in their game once they saw Iverson do it. Same thing as Jordans fadaway, magic Johnson passes and now a lot of people try too dunk like D ROSE. But Kobe and Lebron....they have no real signature move.
