Michael Jordan was the all time great. Everything he touched seemed to turn to gold. Handsome, magnetic, captivating, and obviously an unbelievable athlete. Beyond the court he became THE MOST MARKETED MAN ON EARTH AND WAS ARGUABLY THE MOST FAMOUS PERSON DURING THAT ERA.

He couldn’t go anywhere without a camera in his face or fans just trying to touch him. He was absolutely hounded by the media. At one point he was the golden boy, but then the media started to turn on him and critique his every move.

And the time they did it the worst was during the worst tragedy imaginable.

The murder of his father.
