How famous was OJ Simpson before his murder trial?
Give me a modern comparison. Would it be like if Charles Barkley was accused of murdering his ex-wife?

Imagine The Rock murdering his ex-wife.

>How famous was OJ Simpson before his murder trial?
Really damn famous. He was an all-time great RB. His Hertz commercials were Dope and hilarious as Nordberg. I'd say he was bigger than Barkley. Considering the stats, commercials, and stint in Hollywood I would say he was closer to Shaq-tier. I'm old as fuck though so I may have tinted glasses on.

Modern day Marshawn Lynch without the autism. Not a GOAT, but debatable on HOF credentials, and known to every casual fan.
>>66251677
He was second all-time in yards when he retired. There's no debate on OJ.
>>66251677
>not a GOAT
He's still one of the top 5 best running backs of all time
Daily reminder that OJ did nothing wrong.
>>66252375
Except murder his ex wife and her bull.
>>66251677
ML doesn't have autism, just shy in front of cameras.
>>66252543
Negro please
he was in movies and shit brother
>>66251569
I was in middle school when this all went down, and everybody my age knew who OJ was even though we were all too young to have seen him play. By the early 90s, he was a pop culture figure who used to play sports.
Honestly it would probably be Shaq-level.
>>66251677
OJ put up a lot of yards while playing on some pretty bad Bills teams. He was without a doubt HOF worthy.
>>66251640
this is probably a very close comparison. Generally seen a a nice guy, does a lot of movies, had a hugely successful career, lots of endorsement deals.
>>66251643
Definitely Shaq tier. He was beloved by fans across America, starred in commercials and movies, and (at the time) was either the best or second best running back of all time, and is still considered one of the elite RBs in NFL history.
Replace running back with center, and NFL with NBA, and it definitely sounds like Shaq.
>>66252543
He's not shy, he just fucking hates the media. Which is very understandable. Watch him on that video game segment of Conan. He comes off as just a guy while Gronk looks like a complete try hard
>>66251643
This.
I'm an older guy who saw him play in the 70s. He was pretty much the Bills sole serious offensive threat and and was an amazing RB.
>>66252670
Shaq is the comparison I thought of.
Pre-internet, no one really knew anything about OJ's personal life. He was a successful football player, was on MNF, in tons of commercials, and he was the lovable oaf in the Naked Gun. He was the Juice to everyone. No one knew he was psycho.
>>66251569
Imagine Stephen curry raping his daughter
>>66252775
"He will always be the Juice..."

>>66252844
was he gay for juice?
>>66253210
No they were just good friends.
Was it CTE?
>>66251677
Marshawn couldn't hold a candle to the Juices talents.
Are you kidding me right now? Adrien Peterson would be the better comparison.
>>66253232
Yea
>>66251677
He put up 2000 yards in a single season. Back when a single season was 14 games.
Is it possible OJ did not commit the crime?
The glove did not fit and Fuhrman was racist.
>>66251677
this is bait
>>66251569
Pretty popular, though at the time of this, he wasn't exactly an A-list celebrity that was in the news all the time, but he was a hell of a ball player that will be remembered for being a criminal.
>>66253457
of course its possible. thats why he got off by the jury.
It wasnt a 1930s style lynch trial with half the jury being KKK members, and the judge and defense being semi-open KKK either.
>>66253457
He was acquitted
he didn't do it.
>She was killed at her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California, along with her friend, restaurant waiter Ronald Goldman.
>her friend
mhm
>>66253544
she's not even that attractive
>>66252716
yeah gronk was surprisingly unfunny and almost cringy in that video desu
>>66253219
>>66253210
>>66252844
I just can't see anyone saying this.
>>66253516
No it was a jury full of blacks who thought the police were out to get OJ even though he threw them pool parties and whatnot
>>66252960
That's a weird way to choke a bitch.
>>66253560
Facially no, but SoCal blonde with a good body is like dick-kryptonite for niggers and jews.
>>66253457
I hope so
>>66254852
Charles Barkley seems like a pretty intelligent person. He's redpilled on black people... but then he wears something like that hat.
>>66254852
Goddamn those were some different times lel
>>66254880
are you saying you dont want to fuck iraq
>>66254962
A little late to say no now
>>66253457
There is a theory that his son did it and because his son was a bit mental he tried to take the blame to protect his son so he ends up doing a halfass cover up and gets out with good lawyers.
True or not i like that theory.
he got cucked by the white man and couldn't handle it.
fuck OJ
He wasn't well known at all.
He was an average NFL player, and had a small role in a flop Leslie Nielsen "film".
He's only famous because of this trial.
