I mean i firmly believe that MJ is the best player ofa ll time this isn't one of those threads but I was thinknig about just how everything MJ did, maybe it's nostalgia but it's just perfect.

remmeber the game Jordan versus bird? fricking best one on one basketball video game ever.

bulls verses etc

the mc donalds commercials

i wouldn't know what lebron james shoe looked like if you paid me a million dollars and i can tell you the jordans what version they where at first sight.

space jam, i believe i can fly

like mike, i want to be like mike. how fricking catchy is that. frick i literally don't even remember what that commercial is trying to sell me lol but i remember i want to be like mike.

I made a similar thread a few weeks ago. I also agree that Jordan is the best player of all time, but I think his branding and mystique elevates him to a level that is untouchable. The jump man logo, the shoes, the commercials, etc. will never be touched by another athlete. He is an icon.

He made 94 million in salary during his career but is worth 1.3 billion.

His biggest backer has always been Nike, which generates nearly $3 billion in annual revenue from the Jordan Brand. Nike commands 90% of the U.S. basketball shoe market, with the Jordan Brand representing more than half of that.

Was a sequel/remake of Dr. J vs Larry Bird which was awesome (and Dr. J could break the backboard).

Jordan happened to be the best player at the right time. Nike helped promote the shite out of him.

Nike did mj's shoes.

Mj did not design nike athletic footwear. Nike founder and chief designer were both into track shoes like you wouldnt believe. Brought the same intensity to mj's shoes.
