Depends when you learned about OJ.
Football star?
Movie star?
Murder trial star?
Most of the public only knew the latter, but he was more than that.

I’ve known him through all three. Infamous comes to mind.
FINALLY!
An American story on how to screw up your life.

Never did find the REAL killer I suppose.

You forgot the "whistle" emoji.
Your forgot:
Armed Robber?
Kidnapper?
I'm old enough to have known OJ for all those things. One's admiration for someone as accomplished as he was, can quickly be tarnished, if not totally faded away, when the weight of later actions are all considered.
Regardless, I feel for anyone, and their loved ones, who suffers through cancer.
It was his son. He fell on the sword for him.
Sure, the real killer has been free all these years because OJ was locked away and not searching for him (which he had promised).
Bye.
Good riddance.
I won’t go into the more contentious aspects of his life. I do remember getting a chidren’s book on sports, and one of the stories was about his NFL single season rushing record. I was a child of the 80s, and that was when he was still doing Hertz commercials (apparently his biggest source of income in retirement) as well as Monday Night Football. My dad took me to MNF preseason game in the 80s and as we left someone was apparently yelling at the limo that picked him up at the end of the game, trying to get his attention.
