Jordan was a cultural icon who changed the athletic shoe industry before he won a ring. Championships are not meaningful in this context.

Jason Whitlock is a moron of epic proportions.
Re: Stupid shit ESPN says...
Regardless if he wins a title or not, is he really that marketable?
Don't know the numbers, but he did say recently he was dropping the backpacks cause it associated with a kid.
"Durant admits his wardrobe off the court has evolved as he has grown and he is ready to shed the connection with the backpack that became part of him thanks to its presence around him during postgame news conferences.
"I still carry a backpack with me but I'd rather put on a suit and people know me for that," Durant said. "I think I ran with that a little bit, too. It's a change in the guard now. I would rather be buttoned up. A backpack is more associated with kid. I think I'm a grown up."
