I don't get it. So, if you're stating that Gretzky's reputation
is earned, then why are you acting so dismayed at people who look up to the man? As Ace_O_Spades just stated, when someone else worthy of attention comes along, people will pay attention. But, much like people admire the likes of Orr, Howe, and others, there will always be people who greatly admire Gretzky's accomplishments.
