Is Michael Jordan the only athlete that gets held to a different set of standards?
I feel Jordan more than any athlete has a different set of standards. Where all his failures and short comings are given excuses and are never recognized along side his accomplishments. Even his shortcomings within his own personal life seem to be stricken from public record.
Do you agree?

What failures and shortcomings? I think you should shut up, and we'll forget we ever had this conversation.

MJ was playing with house money. Back then no one thought a SG could have that kind of an impact. And to be honest with the rules at the time I doubt any other SG would. Then on top of that he showed you could actually have a dynasty team built around a SG with no all time great big man even on it.
In short: MJ is overrated but hes still the GOAT

Yes, in sports he's treated like he's by far the best in the sport when in reality he's just one of a few candidates that can claim the GOAT spot.
Guys like Gretzky, Bradman and even Messi are much freakier as talents than Jordan ever was. Yet he's a cartoon hero - figuratively and literally - for people who buy the drinks/food/shoes he endorses while they watch re-runs of the Bulls' finals.

How can that be said when the perimeter player had great notoriety before him? Dr.J, Bird, Magic, were considered better than any dominant big man in that era. What Jordan accomplished wasn't unheard of. If what Jordan did as a SG was a spectacular achievement, then what Magic did as a PG is even more impressive
