First, let's start with the evaluation of Jordan by some football bigwigs
Zidane: I can't compare to Jordan at all, he's a god, only Maradona
's greatness is on par with that
(It's a pity that even Maradona, the second king of football, is Jordan's fandom)
Maradona once expressed his admiration for Jordan in his memoir "I am Diego",
"Jordan is the one I'm willing to take a picture of him in one switch"
He also said that it was his dream to meet Jordan and hug, for which he was "willing to do anything"
Maradona dressed in Jordan training clothes
To put it simply,
Maradona: "Jordan is my idol and I am willing to trade everything for a picture with him"
Bailey: "Jordan seems to be more famous than I am. ”
David Beckham: "When Jordan came to the UK, our couple asked to be a tour guide for him and we were thrilled to hear that he agreed. ”
(You can also find out why David Beckham changed to the number 23 shirt at Real Madrid)
A group in China:
"Only China and the United States can afford Jordan"

- Epic level missions: Find a list that doesn't put Jordan first

(Well, I really only found such one, and Danzi is still in second place)
That, hell level quest: Please find a list that doesn't put Jordan in the top two
Third, refute some wild lists and rumors that Chinese the Internet to smear basketball
I found that many people like to say "basketball can't touch football" while comparing Jordan and Messi;
Let's not talk about Jordan > basketball, you use basketball to bind Jordan is originally a very low-level operation
Also, I wonder if you talked about the influence of boxing and sprinting when you discussed Ali and Bolt's place in history?
How did you get to Jordan..........
Since that's the case
Then I simply refute some rumors in this answer Chinese the wild list and rumors of extreme football fans black basketball on the Internet, and some basketball blacks in the province then run to my private messages to scold me.......
1. "The World's 20 Most Valuable Sports Event Brands"
The 20 most valuable sports brands in the world
This is a wild list that only dinner will believe, purely created by extreme football fans in CCTV5 bar when they smeared basketball, and there is no source of the relevant authoritative media platform
It is purely a "three no" wild list with no authoritative media statistics, no source support, and no publishing website address!
The specific fight against counterfeiting can be moved to my article

2. NBA and football league ratings issues
The source of this problem is this toad eye, you know the blogger who spread the rumor
@Vero VincentLuo
I don't know where to read the stall article, and I opened my mouth to say "NBA Finals grab seven ratings are not even as good as a La Liga derby"
It's just ridiculous no
The NBA has never counted national ratings!
And it's the average viewership, not the attention!
And the NBA Finals are generally played in six games! The ratings here are one of six!
Besides
Let's break the concept of 650 million in the mouth of this football blogger
As of 2023.1.10, as of the date of writing this article
A total of 660 million new crown cases have been diagnosed worldwide
Good guys, your football is really great
The viewership of a La Liga match can wrestle with the cumulative diagnosis of the new crown, right?
It really can't be blown without blowing
In addition, this is the broadcast revenue of major events around the world in 2019
The NBA is 3.12 billion, while La Liga is 2.27 billion
Why is there a gap of $900 million?
Are broadcasters fools?
Don't buy the leagues with high ratings, turn around and buy those leagues with low ratings?
3. The NBA is not as good as Ligue 1
Chinese one of the most common statements on the Internet, and even more recently, there is a trend to go further
Demeaning the influence of basketball really depends on the mouth of football fans
I'm too lazy to prove that the NBA and Ligue 1 are better or weaker
It's really too cheap compared to Ligue 1
Let's compare the Premier League and La Liga
In terms of popularity, the NBA ≈ Premier League + La Liga
Besides
Nielsen counts total video views from sports leagues around the world
NBA disconnected first
Total video views of sports leagues worldwide
DIGITAL FOOTPRINT
DIGITAL FOOTPRINT, THIRD IN THE NBA
Above!
The NBA is awesome
But remember,
Jordan > basketball > NBA
So
This issue can really only be discussed in the Chinese Internet, a place where basketball has been hacked
So
Please part of the CCTV5 bar boss
Don't rush to take "basketball is worthless" to crush Jordan "worthless"
Then compile a field list such as the "Global Sports Event Brand Value List" to discredit basketball
In the same way, let's smear Jordan again
Jordan's greatness
No amount of smear you can make, you can't change it
