It's hard to evaluate this ****. People act like they know what is popular or known in the whole world.
America is a brand and anything that comes out of our country is popular in others.
We have some of the most well known brands, athletes, pop culture in the world.
Hard to imagine someone in China or Japan not knowing both of them.
Do to video games, movies, and other stuff.
In places like the Latin Americas, Basketball isn't as big and boxing is. However, even if you don't know Jordan, some people will recognise him as a brand.
Europe.. well, I don't know about that block. But there are hella European posters that can speak for themselves.
I'm not trying to be a lame and sit on the fence with this one but it looks like I'm going to have to. They probably are both just as recognized around the world as one another.

Also, big places like most of Asia with it's billions of people or India aren't included on the trends.

We're not talking about a movie star or pop star who is in the public's interest world wide, we are talking about a sportsman who is demigod status in America and who is not so well known in most other places in the world. This is not a hard question to answer. It just confirms the American stereotype that most of you think America is the whole world.
Diego Maradona was as talented as Jordan was, but he's not a household name in America. There is no need to be upset that a very talented sportman is not recognised world wide.

Its Jordan and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. Jordan and Ali are the most recognized sportmen on the planet.
