I believe they wanted to list mostly "clean" people (Magic and Ali not-withstanding) who had a social twist to their careers. If you throw the "transcends sports" caveat you would have to add Bobby Orr, Wilt Chamberlain and Jim Brown , as they only changed dramatically their respective sports.

Do you see no irony in your allegation that Magic is not "clean" (apparently for contracting HIV) but overlook Wilt's uncleanliness (he stated he slept with 20,000 women), and Jim Brown's (who has a history of domestic violence)??
