I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Remember Craig Hodges? Michael Jordan's teammate, who won two championships and lead the NBA in 3-point shooting for three years? Probably not. He was the Colin Kaepernick of the 1990's, and virtually doesn't exist now.

Never underestimate the ability of money and power to shape the history books. Likewise never overestimate people's attention spans.

A bit different. Hodges didn't press his case in front of cameras at games, and media/news is much more pervasive now on general.
