This is a bit harsh. Jordan is the ultimate competitor and he represents excellence and professionalism. He has single handedly revolutionized professional sports and marketing and every kid growing up in the 90s wanted to be him. He has no need to be humble.

He doesn't need to be humble, but if he wants to be part of a community or not face this criticism, he should be.

I think you might want to give some credit to the marketing team at nike that more or less told him what to say/do, promoted him + the products, cleaned up after all his messes, and prevented bad press from coming out. Which all lent to his further successes.

At least that's what I've heard.
