I mean, you wanna be a family man, ... that's great?
But yeah, of course, if we're tuning in to watch basketball .... of course we wanna watch the savage competitors like Jordan crush his competition. That's the excitement of watching sports. Not their private lives.
Nobody is tuning in nor paying expensive season tickets to watch a guy be a family man.
So yeah.... that's why people are obsessed with Jordan and every great/promising player henceforth in the NBA until the end of time will be measured against that yardstick.
No it is definitely also appealing to see someone win without sweating it _too much_. There is some elegance to being very good at something while admitting that other things may be more important.
Watching someone as obsessed like Jordan is one kind of fun. Someone who has outside interests, is a family guy, or is otherwise unusual (while still winning) is a different kind of fun.
