read the last line: "each one getting bigger, bolder, and more braggadocio than the last."
Jordan was the last truly humble superstar. The early ones had it thrusted upon them, and handled it fairly well. Everyone thereafter took it for granted a little more and more. It was a downward spiral.....as the superstars got larger, their behavior and habits got worse....in effect, they killed their own industry, because now there is a Renaissance in the league to reject this attitude, of having groups of individuals, in favour of more Jordan-Magic-Bird style team play.
But it's still the same era. It's just that the back-end of it was a grossly skewed and misaligned counterpart to the front end of it, Jumping the Shark so to speak.
