Not really to the extent that Jordan was. You also have to consider the context of the times. Jordan was the first NBA player to reach a global audience.

I remember reading a passage in a book called "Playing for Keeps" - it's about Jordan and it talks about how people in Asia, Europe, and Africa knew who Jordan was and wore his jersey.

He was the first player to popularize shoes on a global level. Fans and players didn't really care about what kind of shoes they wore before. That entire culture that's pumping today is a result of Jordan's influence on sneakers.

Chuck once said how he's never been around a celebrity who attracts as much attention as Jordan. He talked about how they were playing pool one time and they had to rope off the area because there was a crowd of people there and they were just staring at Jordan.
