Which MJ was more famous?

[lespaulultra3]

I've met people outside of the US that didn't know who Jordan was but I've never met anyone who didn't know Michael Jackson.

There will never be a person that famous ever again.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

It’s not even close

Jordan gets the MJ title until Jackson walks up in the room and gotta give that shyt up with the quickness and becomes just Jordan


King of pop literally made people faint

Jordan felt honored to be in Jackson’s music video, not the other way around

 

[Dynamite James]

for those who lived in the 80s & 90s, would you say Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan was a bigger deal?

Michael Jackson . Sports is competitive and people are fans of different teams…. Everyone didn’t fukk with Jordan . Lebron isn’t loved worldwide either

 

[Elim Garak]

Jackson simply because basketball was just beginning to go global. It would have been far closer if Jordan just entered the league in today's climate.

Even bushmen with no technology or contact to the outside world knew Michael Jackson. They had no clue of anything other event but knew Michael Jackson.

that’s fukking wild!

Jackson couldn’t walk by himself in 90% of the entire world without getting mobbed to death. Jordan could walk down the Vegas strip right now by himself and be fine.

Gotta be in his twenties asking a question like this.

fukk that, even teenagers know better, OP has no excuse.

I WOULD SAY JACKSON BUT ITS NOT A HUGE A GAP AS THIS FORUM ACTIN LIKE

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Jordan wasnt even the most famous MJ in the 1980s.. that was Magic.

Jordan wasnt even the most famous Michael in Sports in the 1980s, that was Mike Tyson

 

[Dreamchaser]

Think about waiting for hours at a venue just to faint when Michael Jackson comes out.

No one is ever going to be that famous again.
