Someday there will be a new hotness, and kids will roll your their eyes and say let's get you to bed grandpa when you try to talk about MJ.

Unitas is a good example. About the only one who seemed to avoid this fate as the decades went along is Babe Ruth. He really was bigger than the sport. Michael Jordan is probably the closest we have seen to Babe Ruth status in team sports lately. The popularity of Jordan’s shoe brand will probably keep his name from being forgotten so easily over time like with Unitas and others.
