　　Jordan and Simpson are not 　　13　　 role models．They are past and present athletes who have used their 　　14　　 abilities to become national superstars．　　15　　 people see Jordan slam the door and they wanted to be like him．This is 　　16　　 parents would tell their children that these athletes can be 　　17　　 for their exceptional talent in sports, but 　　18　　 they live their lives 　　19　　 the court is what separates them from 　　20　　 heroes．
