Childhood Heroes
who did you idolize when you were growing up (aside from a parental figure)?
if you can recall, what about them made you admire them so?
personally, i worshiped michael jordan as a kid. sure, basketball isn't the biggest sport on the international stage, but hear me out. when he entered the NBA, he took the standards of everything and threw them out the window. it was almost like watching him play against a high school team.
not to mention his jumping ability was spectacular to see. even if you aren't american, you should be able to enjoy the first basketball in the olympics with the dream team (featuring him as a rookie). bottom line is, not many sports have a player that can be declared the best of all time without a bunch of bickering among the fans, but in his case the decision was damn near unanimous.
inb4 basketball sucks, the NBA is too commercial, etc. i grew up in a state where the only team was an NBA team, so i'm kind of a fan for life.
so anyway, enough of me idolizing. who did you look up to?
