Who is the more famous entertainer/athlete ever? You can add Marilyn Monroe & Mike Tyson as well as Babe Ruth to this list. Which name is MORE recognized the world over not just in there time but to every generation & give the reasons why?
My pick is MJ.. Michael Jordan.. he was the most spectacular athlete & or entertainer that ever lived.. he's even more famous than the region his last name is named after & therefore the most legendary.. not to mention he's got several nicknames used just for him.... his uniform # by itself is all you need to mention to state who it is you're talking about ..'nuff said
About equal in terms of iconic status. But pure fame alone it's Jackson if you've ever seen the Bucharest concert people started fainting and going crazy and all the man did was get on stage and turn his head from side to side. That's insane.
But you can't really compare them seeing as how they were involved in such different aspects of life. But all three changed how people viewed there sport and music. If I had to pick it'd be michael, Ali, Jordan
Good question for a debate interesting to break down there achievements and look at how they touched the world you can make cases for all of em.
90% of people outside of USA don't know who Jordan is
They still buy his shoes tho even the ripoffs to this day.I think legacy wise Jordan wins. But in terms of peak of their day.
Jackson>Ali>Jordan
Simple way to prove who's more popular is to go to google and search each one and see how many results come up.
Micheal Jackson has About 757,000,000 results
Micheal Jordan has About 423,000,000 results
Muhammad Ali has About 76,700,000 results
So Micheal Jackson is leaps and bounds more popular then Jordan or Ali.
Fun Facts Mike Tyson is slightly more popular then Ali aswell
Mike Tyson has About 79,500,000 results
90% of people outside of USA don't know who Jordan is

Who the heck is Muhommad Ali?
I don't agree... Michael Jordan's name is more well known than Jackson's. The way to decipher is to take the nonfan of either one of them & ask them who have they heard of more. Yes most all of the world has heard of both Mj's.. Jordan's name transcended his field & line of work.. I would say it's Ali that is a close runnerup. Michael Jordan is the most famous basketball player ever by far. Michael JACKSON might be the most famous solo act in entertainment history. Ali... the most famous boxer. Jordan's name is more relevant since he hit the scene more than the other two at there peak of popularity.
for me it's Ali.....
gracing the olympics even just as torch lighter, visits to other countries, including Islamic ones, and the principles he fights for makes him the most recognizable face to date...you could even ask the feds for that he he he
A good argument breaker would be to show a pic of each legend mentioned to a person that hasn't had cable for the past 50 yrs & can only base his or her's decision on word of mouth or what they heard in the news. lol
Don't overestimate Basketball's popularity in the rest of the world.

You are one delusional person if you think Michael Jordan is more famous than Michael Jackson. It's not even close. The only person more well known than Michael Jackson is probably Jesus and I don't know if he ever existed.
Do you have any proof that he is more well known. There's no one that has ever had the impact of Michael Jordan. He was voted the best athlete ever by ESPN. His commercial success.. advertisements.. everyone wanted to be like Mike & it wasn't Jackson or Tyson. Michael Jackson is the King Of Pop but he's NOT even the most famous in the music field... The Beatles collectively are & Elvis is right behind Michael. Michael Jordan stood alone.. a lot of Jackson's press was negative & that helped fuel his popularity.. without the negativity he wouldn't have been nearly as popular. I think the last name Jordan is more well known than Jackson.
Michael Jackson is the "King of Pop"
People forget how big he was. He was bigger than Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Justin Beiber and all the other top pop stars combined
Michael Jackson
Muhammad Ali
Michael Jordan
In that order. Ali was in his prime in terms of popularity in the 70's but due to parkinsons which hampered his public engagement potential, he could have been even more relevant today than he is. At one point Ali was the most famous person in the world, even today he is one of the most famous.
