In the eyes of many basketball fans, Michael Jordan is the greatest hooper to ever live. The Bulls legend enjoyed one of the most illustrious careers in the history of the NBA, but not everyone thinks he’d be as successful in the modern era.
NBA analyst Kenny Smith is among that crowd, and he voiced his opinion on how Jordan would have fared during the social media era during an appearance on Undisputed with Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe.
“It would’ve been too much. Think about how everyone in the world knew about him. He was our version of musically Michael Jackson … he was the most recognizable person in the world,” said Smith. “It was almost too much when there was no social media, and all you saw was Michael everywhere.”
