MJ the ball player I idolized, but MJ the man is just a plain a**hole. I rememeber me a buddy of mine doing a road trip to watch the Bulls championship playoffs and seeing him in action. Back sometime in the late 90's a friend and I sat with him on a American Airlines flight from NY to LA. We were all in in 1st class but he had two row, yes count them two rows, to himself. We were seated the first row behind his two rows. Well my friend leaned over to ask him for an autograph and maybe a picture. MJ just went off about a celebrity like him can't get any privacy and that people won't leave him alone. He was cusing and just all around being an ass. After that I've never liked him the same. He even told the flight attendants to tell us to get a life. What a prick!
I've done the same, but we have to ask ourselves on how we can idolize someone we don't even know.
