his brand is great because of his play and NOT his personality. his winning and rings are why we as kids and teens bought his shoes.
it's that mj is charismatic and kobe is no where near that. it doesn't matter if hes @@+!$#+ or not lol come on now
really now? charismatic? the same guy in the hanes commercials? come on now dude....
also to add to my previous list of mj antics is his hall of fame speech where he basically showed no class...one of the worst hall of fame speeches ever...
again shoes sell because of how a player plays oncourt and how the brand handles the athlete in ads. the commercials are written and rehearsed and the characters such as "air jordan" or "black mamba" go only as far as nike takes them. Nike has done a horrible job with their latestc rop of athletes like lebron and kobe...and jordan brand is living in the past.
