No "kind of" about it. He was/is a prick.

Only difference is that the internet age was not in full swing yet during his career, and he had an amazing marketing machine. He came off as so extremely likeable and a role model. It's only been relatively recently that all of the dark stories about him have come to light.

He was definitely my favorite player in the 90s. Now I can't stand him. Nothing but a phony.
