      Michael Jordan in the 90s was a worldwide phenomenon. I can totally believe it if they mentioned him. I’m from India originally and even we knew who he was in the 90s.

        Yeah, people don’t really get the fame he had. Michael Jordan is the reason Gatorade is a big brand. He’s the main reason people wear athlete branded shoes and gear.

        People below are proving your point. “I just know that he played basketball.” This dude has been retired for 2 decades and people who don’t care about basketball still know who he is. That’s huge.

          Yeah exactly. He MADE Nike and Gatorade and athletic clothing popular. Dude made the NBA and basketball a globally popular market. He was way more than just an athlete.

          Gatorade is such a big brand, I have never seen it once in any of the Belgian stores.

              Space Jam is also how I first heard of R Kelly. Haven’t heard anything about him for a while, wonder how his career is going.

        I grew up in the 90s in England, and we didn’t give a toss about basketball. Still don’t.

        Michael Jordan was the guy in Space Jam with the expensive trainers that a couple of spoiled kids had. We were aware of his existence, but that was it.
