Nov 19 - New Michael Jordan book

On p. 36 of the new Michael Jordan book, there's a silhouette graphic of young Elvis and then on p. 37 there is a statement from one of his people saying: Micahe sing-handedly took team sports and created a new hybrid category. It wasn't the team. And it wasn't the individual. The Beatles has that kind of impact. They changed the way people wore their hair, impacted the clothes people wore. Part of it was just the fact that Michael was so transcendent. He changed everyting single-handledly. It's what Elvis did, or the Beatles did. There have been a handful of people in a century who did what Michael did."
