Some of us were lucky enough to witness Michael Jordan’s greatness up close. We were in the prime of life when everybody wanted to “Be Like Mike.”
Jordan was the ultimate, rare icon. He resonated with everybody. That’s why he became known not just as a one-name wonder, but an initialized wonder.
As the great former coach Del Harris once said: “When he came into the league, he was Michael Jordan. Then he was just Michael. A few years later, he was M.J. If he’d have kept going, he might have just been M.”
Watching “The Last Dance” has been riveting.
