The difference between MJ and everyone else is "reverence". A lot of players are respected, but Jordan is revered. Like Ali and Bruce Lee. They are one of one.

Very few people have that tiger woods has it too among athletes and Brady too

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

@@huwdavies-tallon3305 If you think about it, it's all in our minds and what is created. The media pushes them, talks about them, shows a lot of their images and videos, non-stop talking about them. Then when you see them or get close to them, your mind is messed up, because all the hype was in your brain and now that it's in person, you're trying to compute it in real time. Hence the "glow effect". The opposite is true of people you don't care for, they're not pushed in story lines, clips, etc.. if you met them you're like "okay, cool you're Jim Michaels" or whoever, no big deal. It's the degree of the push they get on the media that affects the reaction you would get in person. You meet your idols, your mind is gonna be your own hype man.

Dominique getting his flowers 💯. One of the most underrated greats of the game who should've easily been on the original Top 50 list.

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

For me he is the most underrated for not getting in that top 50 list which was made in the mid 90s. Dominique was a world class player during the mid-late 80s, a terrific scorer who could cause any team a problem. I put him as #2 in the GOAT dunkers too, just ahead of Jordan (Nique should've beaten MJ in the 88 slam dunk contest, his last dunk was def a 50), but it was in Chicago so....

[@acewilly9991]

Michael Jordan had a gravitas on the court and off that is rarely matched. Mind you, this is in a time period where Bird, Magic, Isaiah, Ewing, Wilkins, Barkley, Olajuwon, Malone, Shaq, LJ, etc where in their prime and yet, MJ was the most feared and revered

[@EliteSports217]

MJ has turn grown men into major groupies! The MJ DICK RIDING Show!

[@OmarScruggs]

I was an intern for the sixers when Jordan was with the Wizards. Saw him after the game near the locker room hallway. And YES Absolutely it was like he was walking in regular speed and all the ppl around him were moving in slow motion. And Charles Oakley was right behind him 😅. True story. I didnt speak to Mike but i did chat with Oakley. Was much nicer than i expected. I also met MJ in like 87 at a Charity event near my house when i was 7 years old but i was too young to fully grasp the moment

[@EliteSports217]

MJ has turn grown men into major groupies! The MJ DICK RIDING Show!

[@roundtrip385]

I Felt the same. Im from Chicago born in 90 but my dad was fortunate enough to take us to most of the all star games growing up. I caught Jordans Last all star game when he came down and hit that shot and then Kobe came down and ruined the night lol. I remember Bow Wow and Jermaine Duper were sitting behind us and the clothing line iceberg was very popular. The cartoon shirts and Bow Wow had bugs bunny on his shirt and the fans was calling them homo and stuff. But when Jordan touched that court it was even more magical than when he was in Chicago. I was also too young to understand the moment but those memories are something I will forever hold close.
