On the other hand, he turned an entire generation of kids worldwide into basketball fans, and inspired people with his work ethic and success. I can respect his accomplishments while still conceding he did one of the most despicable things you can do as a person.
The hero worship is still a little overboard though. |
Everything is overboard these days...including what your said, hero worship. The response of faux outrage over the sexual assault was overboard. And the threatening to kill the reporter response by some, obviously overboard.
I disagree with the WP suspending the reporter but I also disagree of her personal attack (this simply wasn't just a share of a story, she's not innocent, its an attacking smear while the family is morning) at the time of the death.
Im not gonna get into the whole WP being trash...but it certainly is tho, this is further indication of it.
