No hate but Lebron doesn’t have the charm or charisma Jordan had. And I’m not a Jordan Stan or Lebron hater… just objectively speaking… Jordan was the ideal global ambassador for the sport.

Lebron??? I don’t know… it feels like more hype than substance when it comes to how he’s marketed. Maybe because basketball has come so far globally, there’s only so much Lebron and his contemporaries can do to push the brand further.

Paul McCartney is still one of the most famous people in the world

true, but he was sort of an afterthought until MJ collaborated with him for Say Say Say and Ebony and Ivory.. but Paul still didnt get his own thing back poppin music wise after that collab

Donald Trump was famous worldwide in the late 70s

Right. Trump didn't really become famous in the U.S. until the mid to late 80s and that was because he was always in the New York tabloids.

 

[richaveli83]

MJ didn't become a mega star until Thriller. I would have to go with Muhammad Ali and/or The Beatles. Maybe Queen Elizabeth since the British colonized a good chunk of the planet and the King/Queen of England is the head of state of the commonwealth.
