Being that it was set in England no, they wouldn't have.
Michael Jordan in the 90s was a worldwide phenomenon. I can totally believe it if they mentioned him. I'm from India originally and even we knew who he was in the 90s.
Yeah, people don't really get the fame he had. Michael Jordan is the reason Gatorade is a big brand. He's the main reason people wear athlete branded shoes and gear.
People below are proving your point. "I just know that he played basketball." This dude has been retired for 2 decades and people who don't care about basketball still know who he is. That's huge.
Yeah exactly. He MADE Nike and Gatorade and athletic clothing popular. Dude made the NBA and basketball a globally popular market. He was way more than just an athlete.
