Truth be told, there were a lot of people that mixed up Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson in this (red)neck of the woods, but they didn't confuse Magic Johnson since he was of an earlier time.
I remember when people told me to my face that they couldn't remember if my name was such and such or Kristi Yamaguchi, which is quite hilarious since a. my children and husband are of a certain ethnicity, not I, and there is absolutely no similarity between our body types -she a slender, fiercely dedicated popular sportswoman, -me--something quite opposite.
And, our names are not even similar except we have two syllables in our first names, and four in the last!
However, it would be quite a thrill actually to be honestly confused with Kristi, but fer sher couldn't happen in this lifetime.

OMG that was a FAIL on a massive ignorant proportion!
