In an age of celebrity omnipresence, the cameras need to put out an APB to find Michael Jordan. He doesn’t chase attention. No, no. Attention chases him.
There’s a difference, you know, between mystique and exposure. Between presence and visibility. Between Jordan and Tom Brady. Both possess unassailable athletic greatness. This season, both are talking on television. Jordan refuses to do too much. Brady, to his detriment, can’t get enough. One treats appearances like cherished currency. The other needs an intervention before overdrafting from his checking account.
Tom Brady needs fame, but Michael Jordan uses it. The winner is clear.
