==At least mention him as a pop culture figure not just a basketball player==

Michael Jordan is not only a worldwide popular and skilled basketball player. He has a huge influence on world popular/sports/corporate/ culture back in the 90's. How about his influence on American pop culture with the "Air Jordans" shoes back in the 80's/90's? It was mention on a previous Wikipedia Michael Jordan article historys but it was deleted by an anonymous person. I can understand getting rid of the Merchandise section but to get rid of "Air Jordans?"
