Jordan's legacy and reputation has to be the biggest sham in the history of professional sports.

Unreal player but his image is a joke and all of this one-on-one isolation crap, traveling, and everything else that people whine about with the NBA are things that exist in large part because of him.
^^^^^
Gets it.

MJ was a singular player, a transcendent player. Ironically, that has really ruined basketball for me. It really feels like the game has become a "look at the cool **** I can do" thing, rather than a sport. I used to watch basketball when I was younger, but now I'd rather watch...pretty much any other sport.

Mind you, I don't feel the same emnity towards college ball as I do towards the NBA. The atmosphere is so much different, and it's really enjoyable to watch, even with the showboating.
