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.

Maybe you guys would win at basketball more if you had it? Be like Mike.
