As AI's career is fading away the media have again found a way to hate on the man for any and every thing he does, I've started to think that many fansdo not realize the full scope of his impact on the game. He was the face of the League while Stern desperately searched for someone else to take Jordan'storch. He scored 30 every night for the better part of a decade, won an MVP award and led an awful team to the Finals. And now, just like that people want toeither bash him or act like he never existed. I found this nugget from MagicRockets pretty interesting;
To illustrate the League's desire to get rid of anything related to AI, his player page is no longer in the NBA's official website while Vladimir Lucic's (who?) is still up and running.
Anyway, I just wanted to air this topic out and get a feel for what people think of this. It might be a stretch, but I truly believe people aren't aware ofthe significance of AI's career.
