"Jordan RCA"      This is the second in the TV series.  I allow the production year of the set to dictate the image that I paint.  This is a 1993 RCA, and in this case the title run of the Chicago Bulls seemed fitting.  In the 1990's Jordan became the Joe Dimaggio or Babe Ruth of his day.  He is certainly a legend in his own time.  This legend is carried to us over the waves of television like never before, and as each decade passes, these mythical athletes that we invite into our homes through TV become very personable.  They sell us our sports drinks, our cereal, our underwear, even our batteries.  They appear to be just like us, until tip-off.  I can recall the raging debates during my days in college over Jordan's play on television.  Was he a team player?  Could he win a championship?  All of this deliberation over an athlete I never saw in person.  Vanishing are those days when the biggest sports celebrity I knew was the local high-school football star in little Waller, Texas.  Today it's Iverson, Garnett, or Malone that we see every day, as if we almost know them through the black box in the living room.
