It would be everywhere, sure, but MJ had no problem whatsoever being the villain face to face with the other big names and popular figures. It was Stern who turned him into the hardworking, ever humble idol that he's known as but unlike LBJ and to a certain degree Kobe.... MJ could've absolutely thrived off of being the greatest heel in sports history.I remember a story few years back from the morning jones where Jordan broke a sports writer for his girl.
Imagine the outrage if social media existed back during Jordan's run if his adulterous ways were exposed. ESPN would end dude's career with non stop diasterbation over his cheating ways. Remember Jordan's not going for 10's but average 6s and 7s aka normal women. He'd face legit drama in every city.
Shit, it would've probably made him even stronger.
