Athletes are revenue generators. People buy tickets to sporting events in order to see a particular athlete play. Back when Jordan was playing, you couldn't steal a Bulls ticket, because there was that much interest in him. No one buys a plane ticket because a certain pilot is flying, or because a certain airline has a reputation of having the best pilots.
