A handful of athletes defined the ’90s. Few redefined their respective sports the way Michael Jordan did by the mid ’90s, or Tiger Woods did by the late ’90s. For both the NBA and golf worlds, there is a distinct before and after period — and an everlasting search for the next Jordan or Tiger. The superstars have a great deal of overlap.
