I know it burns the Kobe and Lebron stans (and I like Lebron, but his stans are pathetic) that all these years later MJ is still the standard of excellence in the NBA.

That new generations who didn't even grow up watching him play want to be like Mike.

That 20 years from now, people will STILL want to be like Mike and there will be NO "still want to be like Kobe" commercials.



GOAT, now and forever. Stay mad kenneth9eralphawolfetc

Once Jordan is dead, he will be mostly forgotten like all other great athletes.

and his shoes still sell out while the Kobe's/Bran's/etc sit on shelves

True story about Larry Bird. Nike did a commercial with a number of NBA superstars singing the "I wanna be like Mike" jingle. They asked Bird to participate and he refused. He said he didn't want to be like Mike because he didn't regard Michael Jordan as his superior.

Nobody wears his shoe for basketball. Go to the gym, rec center, or park. Everyone has LeBron's or KD's.

Fukkin liar. But then again, you're a lowlife, pathetic Kobe Stan so what else would I expect? Also, there are no "Be Like Mike" commercials with NBA superstars singing the jingle. WTF are you talking about? Simpleton.

Nobody wants to be like Mike, Kobe, or Bran. They are all selfish a$$holes with huge egos. People want to be like Steph Curry. Nice, humble, polite, and adorable.

And yet, Bird himself will tell you Mike's GOAT. Also, GOAT won his last title SEVENTEEN years ago and yet is still THE icon of the sport with today's athletes wanting to be a part of the "Be Like Mike" tradition and a whole new generation too.

No one has, or will come close to that kind of appeal in NBA history. No one. Not Magic, not Bird, not Kobe, Not Lebron, Not Shaq, etc. etc.

You can about it if you want, but doesn't change the facts.

There's really no argument. Jordan is the GOAT.

I wanna be like him, everyone should want to be a winner.

Maybe the best basketball shoes ever. Aesthetically and performance wise.
