Jordan set a standard, that in the mind of everyone that saw him play, will never, ever be superseded. no doubt, the fans, media, brand endorsements, entertainment sources, even some of his best opponents in the league sensationalized his skills.
he portrayed the perfect athlete - looks, style, sportsmanship, competitiveness, passion - everything that we want out of playing a sport, he offered. and to attain that greatness for yourself, you only had to tune in to a bulls game, wear a pair of air jordans, drink gatorade, or stick your tounge out while making a fade-away jumper over your opponent.
there are too many years of built up sensationalism around this one human figure to expect even an outstanding player such as kobe, with a few championships under his belt to overcome it all.
