I know that he was extremely popular/famous and there was a lot of interest in him, but being a famous player doesn’t have to be the same as being a loved player.

For example, in todays game, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant are both very famous players in the league who get a lot of attention from media and from Basketball fans, but Curry is a player who seems to be almost universally liked, not many fans have negative feelings about him. Durant on the other hand is as media famous as Curry, but he is less loved, a lot of regular fans have negative feelings about him.

So how was it with Jordan? Yes he was extremely famous. But was he liked/loved by many Basketball fans (apart from Bulls Fans of course)? Or was he just respected? Did many even have negative feelings about him?

    I will never be able to explain Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson to anyone who hasn’t lived in that era. Just like my parents were never able to explain Beatlemania to me.

    I never liked him but I respected his game. I didn’t even have a good reason for not liking him, I just didn’t. Just being a dumb kid I guess.
