Zinedine Zidane is the Jordan of football, won it all at club and international level.
Carl Lewis

Well if you ask me, the new Jordan 20 commercials made me see things in a diff perspective.
Yeah, we all say "Jordan is the greatest" and "Nobody will ever be greater" but people were definitely sayin that about other players before Jordan, and the lil dude on the commercial said somethin like "well just like there were those before you that they said would never be outdone, somebody is gonna be better than you, and that's gonna be me" and that's real...yeah Jordan is the best we've seen so far, but too many people are stuck on him and thinkin of it as if there will NEVER be another as great. I can't say it'll be Lebron or anybody who's even born yet, but I'm sure there will be a greater player. He will definitely be different, and people will knock them and say "he wasn't as great a shooter/leader/defensive player as Jordan" but he'll have other attributes that will make him better. So we'll see what happens.

kobe is hands down more "like jordan".....lebron is more like a new kind of player and the type of player for the future but not better than kobe.....u cannot compare lebron to anyone that has won a championship because hes not clutch yet...he hasnt been tested...and u cant say a few years from now he will be better than kobe because we dont know how many championships he'll win we dont know if he has the heart or the work eithic...kobe is a better defensive player because he can lock u down...dont get me wrong lebron plays the passing lanes very good better than kobe actually but other than i dont know....kobe can take anyopne one on one and can finish better than lebron...so i think we should wait and see what lebron will do next but we cant speculate because u can see what happened to many players in the league like allen iverson....he has not won any championships!!! t mac being anopther htye all can score like lebron can j kidd can pass like lebron can but no championships

oops sorry about all those misspelled words...lol. but id like to say this...that i think magic johnson was a better player than michael jordan...but jordan was the one that left the legacy but he was marketed more than magic was. jordan came at the time when there was a lot of exposure for the nba...when there was all kinds of commercials, all kinds of shoe deals so of course he was exposed more than the 80's players were. michael jordan is in the top 3 but magic has to be at the top. he came in his rookie year and took over the team even though the leading scorer in the history of the nba was on the team. he was a better passer than jordan and just as good a scored as jordan was. and was a great leader . thats just my opinion guys

Magic was good, but no way was he better. A better passer, yes (he was a point guard). Just as good of a scorer, not even close. Defensively Jordan was better. As a leader, i think its a push. In the clutch, i dont think anyone in their right mind would go with anyone but Jordan to win a game for u. Im not even a huge Jordan fan, but he was as close to a perfect player as there's ever been.
