Durant all over social and then he also got burner accounts.

Maybe but that ain’t the reason he’s god like. Any player that could accomplish what MJ did would be god like in any era

This generation is taught to put everything onlineMJ still alive so how comes he ain’t tweeting his thoughts now
And Chase clout through social media
Older generations wanted to be discreet. We had had cameras back then but you weren't taking pics of shyt you wasnt supposed to
Nikkas nowadays film themselves doing robberies
I don't think the public back then cared about personal lives of sports figures they just wanted their teams to win and fukk everything else
Rumor had it that Teddy Pendergrass flipped his car with DR.J's wife in the passenger seat the night he became paralyzed stuff like that would be all over TMZ now instead of just being folklore

It’s partly true but you can’t blame MJ for that. He still had to go out and you know… play the best basketball we’ve ever seen.
If a player came along today who revolutionized the game the same way at Jordan did in this social media era he’d be even more godlike.
Imagine 80s Jordan doing a tik tok then putting 60 on ya head top like

True the social media era would've put all of MJ's faults and shyt on blast
Remember the book The Jordan Rules? Imagine all of that shyt coming out on a daily basis. Not too mention his gambling issues

in todays time, social media is important to a player. hell you got ya league media obligations
u got corporate sponsors needing you to make posts on their products
so its not as easy as telling a player but you can stay off social media
many of their brands are connected to social media engagement/activity

Writers in the 90s WERE writing articles openly asking that tho. He got mad at the accusations
IS MICHAEL SOMEHOW TIED TO DAD'S BIZARRE DEATH
Orlando Sentinel - We are currently unavailable in your region
"I am trying to deal with the overwhelming feelings of loss and grief in a way that would make my dad proud," Jordan said in a statement released several days after the death. "I simply cannot comprehend how others could intentionally pour salt in my open wound by insinuating that faults and mistakes in my life are in some way connected to my father's death."

I ain't hating on MJ, he the GOAT
but it is different when you look at your phone 100x a day and that shyt is right in front of you vs written in a paper version of the orlando sentinel.
i still think MJ would overcome because he just built different, but there is something to how the eras are different, you can put it on modern players for not just ignoring social media too tho.

Yeah, all you have to do is look at the ridiculous pedestals that people like Ronaldo, Messi, and Brady are on.
