Woods used Michael Jordan’s example to explain his statement. “What I mean by that is, the kids right now, they don’t know that Michael Jordan played. They see a Jumpman [logo] and they think, that’s so cool,” he said. “…really young kids, single digits in age, they have no idea who Michael Jordan was, but the Jumpman logo is cool.”

And he used the same analogy to explain what went on with kids at his learning center, the TGR Foundation. “My learning center, kids go through it and they don’t know who I am. They don’t know what I’ve done. But it’s a safe haven for them to learn and grow,” he added.
