Ali rocks... but... come on... MJ... let's not get too carried away here...

 

[Brian Fellows]

Well they have one thing in common. I dont like any of them!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

what i meant was that two legitimately dominated their sport, while the other is an overrated, overpaid pinstriped goggled chump.

Ali is 10 billion times greater then MJ at every aspect at life. 50 years from now Ali will still be talked about, by then MJ will be long forgotten (unless Loki gets his shit together and forms his Church of Jordan).

Only if the NBA ceases to exist. I don't get why you always claim Jordan will be forgotten.

of course i'm envious. I wish i could make $17 million a year to be mediocre. Its the american dream.

so mediocre that probably 25 of the 30 teams would bend over backwards to get him on their team.

He won't be forgotten because he dominated the NBA for almost an entire decade, but it will be the same way people talk about Russel. No one really cares anymore what the Celtics did back in the day except some old fogies, same thing will happen to MJ. People will just remember his stats, Ali actually helped change America. Even today, many years after Ali retired he is actually still loved by so many people around the world, whereas other then a select few Jordan worshippers, his presence grows a little less each year.

I love Ali... and think he is one of the greatest people in all sports... but Jordan is known everywhere in the world... I live in Japan... and people have no idea who Ali is... but they know Mike...

What was the response to Jordan's trip to Japan last month?

 

[Blackace]

They loved him here... also in Taiwan they loved him.. I had Japanese friends calling me just to tell me he was coming!

 

[DMczaf]

YESSSSSSSSS! Jordan's quest to world domination draws one step closer! Next, we go to Sweden!

 

[bionic77]

Japan doesn't count, they are stupid!!!!

Ali's accomplishments:

1) Saved boxing and once again made it into the biggest sport in the world.
2) Beat Joe Frazier, George Foreman, and Sonny Liston (whereas Jordan beat uhh, the Knicks and the Suns? Sorry, not on the same level).
3) Took on and beat the US Government.
4) Challeneged Superman to a fight and WON (haha, Jordan probably couldn't even handle Batman let alone the man of steel).
5) Took on the Man (aka Honkey McGee) and won (whereas Jordan is the official slave puppet of the man).
6) And finally, he wrassled a alligator, tussled with a whale, murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick, and even made medicine sick!!

Jordan's accomplishments:
1) Won as many titles as Kareem Abdul Jabeer.
2) Made some shitty cartoon movie.
3) Some Gatorade commercial.

Ali wins!!!!

no they wouldn't. He's not even the best SS on his team.

 

[Joe]

no they wouldn't. He's not even the best SS on his team.

what does that have to do with other teams not wanting jeter?

 

[Blackace]

Japan doesn't count, they are stupid!!!!

And so is Taiwan... Most of the US, Canada, Korea, China, hell even the kids in the sweatshops love him... Jordan is still the most famous face on the planet.... Most people outside of the US wouldn't even know if Ali was taking the bus with them..

Blackace wins!!!!

Totally wrong, Ali is still one of the most recognized faces on the planet. True, a lot of kids don't remember who he is or about all the great things he did (he took down Honkey McGee for cryin out loud), but most of those same people don't know how to read or write either (a trait many Jordamaniacs seem to have in common is bending over for "the man" and stupidity).

 

[fennec fox]

Screw the article, did anyone else get that cool Punch-Out ripoff flash ad?

Nah, the argument for Ali owning every athlete ever could certainly be made...as much for what he did outside the ring as he did in it. And to say Ali isn't known all over the world cause some idiots in Japan don't know of him is insane. Ali was probably the first true worldwide superstar athlete, and he did that without the aid of the NBA or Nike marketing machines pushing his ass.

what i meant was that two legitimately dominated their sport, while the other is an overrated, overpaid pinstriped goggled chump.
