Michael Jordan is one of the greatest players ever to have played the game of basketball. The Chicago Bulls legend was a once-in-a-century talent. His mastery on the offensive side was out of this world. There was no shot that he couldn’t make, and he had the confidence to take every shot. Because of his talent and on-the-court performance, Jordan was an extremely popular athlete. At his peak popularity, he was bigger than many teams in NBA.

Many children, including prospective basketball players, looked up to Jordan as their idol and inspiration. He provided them with the belief that they could become great too. But with all this adulation comes the thorns and the critics. Jordan was accused of not being ‘black enough’ by some black writers when he was still a player because of his off-the-court persona. In an old interview, Jordan was asked about this interview and also gave a response.
