Messi far surpasses MJ, he's achieved everything, he's a fabulous player and an equally fabulous sportsman whom the entire world recognizes and appreciates.
These days, yeah. Back in Jordan's day I think it was similar. Which is interesting because many people around the world never actually saw him play a full match. But his brand name was so strong that everyone knew him.
Striving to have what MJ has, perpetual wealth. Messi will definitely surpass that just based on popularity. There has never been an athlete as global as Messi is. MJ's brand grew worldwide due to his participation in the Olympics and then being part of the Dream Team.
Americans don't understand the rest of the world, for them their stars are necessarily the stars of the whole world. Messi is at a higher level than Jordan. Football is far more competitive than any American sport. Even if you put all their sports together, none have the capacity to keep 1.5 billion people across the planet waiting for a final.
@@jeromeclemente3672 and not only that, European football has three major tournaments in one season, the national league, a national cup and the European league. The level of competition is very high, something that is not seen in any American sport.
@@waldomatamoros completely agree as an American myself, it just sucks that for the European pov these old Americans give us a bad representation always comparing the best of football players to Micheal Jordan, Tom Brady ect. As great as the players are they aren’t a tenth of what Messi is and they don’t want to accept that fact that he’s bigger than our American athlete’s
Messi is definitely a bigger name than MJ will ever be because football is worldwide. MJ came up in a time where Nike needed a star athlete to sign and forever changed the way companies do business with athletes. For that reason, MJ brand grew along with Nike. Imagine if that was the same for Messi, he would probably be worth 20 billion or more.
Striving to be MJ? Never heard of Taylor Twellman but Messi is way more massive than any personalities USA ever produced that includes athletes and celebrities.
Jordan isn’t wearing Messi’s logo. It’s the other way around. Messi was wearing Jordan’s logo on his PSG kit. And my net worth is closer to Messi’s than Messi’s is closer to Jordan’s.
@@CasuaIIy420 Well that’s why Taylor is saying that, Messi is trying to up his business portfolio. Either way Messi still wore Jordan’s logo and MJ received a substantial increase. So Jordan knows how to monetize Messi’s own popularity better than Messi does.
Messi is a million times bigger than MJ not even close and nobody in the football world care if the US ends up understanding that. This is just another business to them. No passion whatsoever.
MJ Great Basketball player. The legendary Goat for America and Basketball Messi is Meteoric Superstar Goat World Appeal and Football Superstar. Know all over.Thats the difference
That’s laughable. First of all my net worth is closer to Messi’s than Messi’s is closer to Jordan’s. Secondly Messi was wearing Jordan’s logo on his PSG kit. Jordan isn’t wearing Messi’s logo. And lastly Messi can have the popularity/social media likes. Jordan will gladly win net worth trophy. It’s what Taylor is referring to in this interview.
@@PedroDeAlvarado81 Messi can catch up Jordan's lifetime networth of selling sneakers in just 2years if he really wanted to. 🤣🤣🤣 Al Hilal offered him 1.6B Euros just to play for 2 years. It's Euros and not just a measly dollar.
Messi going to miami is his version of recreation league sports. He is retired, already said he's not participating in the next World Cup, it was great while it lasted and I'm very grateful to have watched it. Happy retirement to the GOAT!
Bro MJ is the GOAT of Basketball. Messi is the GOAT of Soccer and last time i checked, Soccer is tje BIGGEST SPORT IN THE WORLD! So the Messi MJ comparison is ridiculous! Messi is way BIGGER than MJ
The global impact of football and the stellar career of Lionel Messi cannot be underestimated. Firstly, it is worth noting that football, known as soccer in the United States, is the most popular sport in the world. It transcends cultural, linguistic, and national boundaries like no other sport, engaging billions of fans across continents. The World Cup, football's premier event, is watched by an estimated 3.5 billion people, nearly half of the world's population. This unrivaled reach places footballers like Messi on a global stage, unmatched by any other sport. Lionel Messi, hailing from Argentina, has risen to become one of the most recognized figures in the realm of sport, his influence transcending the boundaries of football. Messi's skill on the field is undeniably mesmerizing, his speed, agility, and precise control make him an extraordinary player, arguably the best the world has seen. His records speak volumes: the all-time top scorer for FC Barcelona, the most goals in a calendar year, multiple FIFA World Player of the Year awards, and if he indeed won the 2022 World Cup, that cements his legacy as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, football players of all time. When compared to the illustrious career of basketball legend Michael Jordan, a few factors illuminate Messi's global superiority. While Jordan dominated the basketball court and revolutionized the game during his era, basketball does not have the same worldwide reach or universal appeal as football. Jordan's impact, though substantial, particularly in the United States and among basketball fans, does not parallel the global influence Messi exerts in the universally-followed realm of football. Furthermore, the longevity of Messi's career and his consistent performance at the pinnacle of the sport for more than two decades amplify his global standing. While Jordan had periods of retirement and comebacks, Messi's career has been one of sustained excellence. Ultimately, the comparison between Messi and Jordan extends beyond statistics and championships. The global significance of football, the unparalleled popularity of the sport, and Messi's sustained mastery on the pitch, contribute to a narrative of global superiority. It's important to remember, however, that both athletes have left an indelible mark on their respective sports, and they both continue to inspire future generations of athletes worldwide.
You’re right, it’s not like Jordan and 1992 Dream Team had any influence globally. I mean it’s not Messi’s home country of Argentina won a gold medal (2004) and were the first country to beat an American team full of current NBA players in the 2002 FIBA World championships. It’s ridiculous to compare their popularity but I will say this. Jordan was as popular if not more than Messi when Jordan was playing in the 90s. And most of third world countries or random countries never got to see Jordan play. The world for the better part of Messi’s career has been able to actually see him play. And add onto that the social media aspect, which Jordan doesn’t really participate in. It’s really a no contest. But as of right now Jordan’s net worth trumps Messi’s. And it’s not even close. My net worth is closer to Messi’s than Messi’s net worth is closer to Jordan’s. That’s mind boggling……
I swear to god if the MLS changes its League structure and espacially its registration/transfer rules this league would be so high up in reputation. Every youngster would love to play football in a professional and competitive enivroment and live in cities like New York, LA, Miami. Why are they making it so hard for football to develop in the US. Academys, Youth systems, Leagues wake the F up youre sitting on a gold mine with the biggest sport in the world
Could it work for the American teams to adopt a more regular approach for the youngsters and train their own juniors? As the other teams in the world do.
They dont have youth academy system, they get player through draft pick If all club in MLS have youth academy, i think its good for US development on football/soccer
@@tukiran3953They do all actually have academies like Europe but they also have the draft but the academies are more important than the draft at this point. They are allowed to sign their academy products directly and avoid the draft.
@@tukiran3953 Nope. In 2007, MLS instituted the Homegrown Player Rule, which allows clubs exclusive signing rights to players groomed in a club’s academy. This draws inspiration from the European club model, which has been around for decades. The clubs are split into geographical zones, and players in such zones must play for the corresponding club.
So funny see people thinking that Jordan is bigger than Messi 😂😂😂 Lionel dont want to be next Jordan, he already is and all people arround the World Knows that but People from eeuu 😂
Chill Michael Jordan is a GOAT also but different sport. Jordan is also the first sports billionaire and he has made way more money outside of playing sports.
He is the most recognized sport figure in the world now and will be after he retires! Everybody in the world knows who he is. Yes Messi is bigger than Jordan and will and History will tell you that. Messi the 🐐 of all GOATS!
Can you imagine people who live in village who don't know how the world are out of their own culture knows who the fuck is Messi ..can Yu guys imagine his greatness...brobably minimum 7 billion people know him.
😂😂😂😂 comparing messi to jordan . 😅 messi is the real goat . Is not about the money but the impact that leo messi has all around the world . Not just in the usa .
Next michael.jordan 😳😳😀😀😀😀 who the hell is Jordan in front of him ... Messi playing for 17 years leaving Europe with Most trophies Most goals Most assists Most ballon dor Most golden boot Most player of the season awards
The title is very funny, I don't know why people from the United States still thinking they live alone in this planet, the title is kind of ignorant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦
Yeah only the best sports ,team and players come from there.Thats what they think. In America Soccer Football is 5th To the rest of the world football is number 1 Sport .Most fans ,clubs ,and players
Messi is Messi, he is like nothing the USA has ever seen. This man is practically a deity throughout the whole world. It's like Kobe raised to the Kobe.
There are “knockoff Jumpman/Jordan’s in every single country in this world”…not seeing many “knockoff”Messi apparel in the US. Messi is more popular I agree, but not the “BRAND” yet…Great that Messi is coming here for the sport and it’s growth in this country for sure though 👍💯
These people saying that Messi is bigger than Michael Jordan do not understand how big Michael Jordan was in the 80s and 90s, He had no equals... It was Michael Jordan and then everybody else. Messi for the majority of his career was comparable to CR7, people still may argue CR7 may be better than him, that all depends on if CR7 can win a World Cup before he retires. Michael Jordan till this day has the number one averages in best state lines the NBA or basketball as a sport has ever seen, the same could not be said about Messi. There are a handful of soccer stars that have better career averages than messi, and a few that have more wins in reputable Tournaments. However Messi winning 7 ball'on Dors allows him to separate himself from many. When it comes to being a global icon, MJ is still much bigger than Messi folks, the jumpman logo can be seen in every continent, in every major city in the world, shoes can sell for thousands of dollars anywhere in the world and people will buy them. For the younger generation MJ is a unicorn, a myth, a legend, but for those who saw him play he was the biggest celebrity in the world, so it's hard to compare Michael Jordan to Messi being the fact that Messi started his career after Michael Jordan retired. Nonetheless Michael Jordan has had a far higher peak than Messi ever has and will...
Why is it they interview this guy, when a real and knowledgeable futbol Apple announcer like, I don't know...Chris Whittingham could be interviewed?!!!!
creo que se refiere para la gente estadounidense o para los afroamericanos ... que messi sera mas admirado que su mejor deportista de la historia dentro de estados unidos, ya que en norteamerica no admiran a la gente fuera de ese pais, como si admiran a los que estan dentro de su pais.
But ur right, now he got to be closer to his home of origin and he already owns a propert in miami anyway and is easy for him to prepare for his own national team
Why should he strive to be like Michael Jordan? He's so much bigger than Michael Jordan. Soccer is far far more popular in the world than basketball, more complex too. MJ should strive to be like Messi. Messi is the GOAT, not only the greatest footballer of all time, but many call him the greatest athlete period of all time.
Don't think Americans understand that football isn't just a sport, it's a way of life and culture, it's by far and away the worlds number 1 sport and is almost a religion in many countries. It's replaced tribalism where clans/armies would go around invading other lands. When you support a team it's not even about entertainment, that's just a bonus. Messi is seen as a living God by 100's of millions around the world, no US sportsman can get close to that.
Lol Messi is the greatest ever in a sport that the whole world plays and i mean every country in this world. Basketball is so regional. What has he got to prove? He is more well known around the world that all current basketball players combined 😂
Who is Jordan? It is serious.. ask in 70% of Europe (first world countries well above USA such as Germany, Nordic countries, France, Netherlands, Belgium), India, Middle East, China, South west Asia, South America and nowadays no one remembers who was Jordan
True. U can ask the war torn Syrian kid u can ask the elders of afgansthan to kids of Tibet..go to every street on earth the walls have heard the chants of Leo. Mj might be rich but the impact of this little man from rosario is Incomparable through out the world not just his nation and continent.
@@smoaky123 Level of education, percentage of college graduates, health services, fewer people living in poverty, fewer murders per capita, better security at retirement age, to name a few.
@@javiercortes5232 but looking at the US as a whole is an extremely ignorant way of looking at it, for example Massachusetts has a higher HDI then just about every European country including Nordic nations and has a higher pop and better economy than Sweden and Norway combined. You can also look at Minnesota, Connecticut, etc. when you lump the whole nation together the more agricultural rural areas drag the numbers down. I know this is probably terrible news to hear since half the world likes to get off at America’s expense these days, but it’s not as black and white as you’d like it to be..
@KING POTUS interesting argument, no doubt. But at the end the subject of comparison is the USA (believe me, I'm a huge fan of a lot of aspects of the American experience) and the average is the country compared with other country. Let me put an example: is like saying that the average of winning/losses of a MLB team must be analyzed taking in consideration the .AVG of the outfielders but no the .RBI of the infield. You have to compare countries to reach a conclusion
That’s where context matters and knowing the impact of Jordan. The highest rated basketball game ever was in the 1998 NBA Finals Game 6, 35.89 million viewers.
@@unggading6990 It does mean the entire world, there were foreign players in the NBA at time. Messi played on glorified super teams like the 2017 Warriors everywhere he played. Barca & PSG, Messi wasn’t taking bums to domestic titles and UCL finals. He’s surrounded by the best players in the world.
Mastec did a crap job in our neighborhood and att is suing them from messing everything up. i lost internet for 3 weeks because their incompetence. Also a Mastec truck ran over my mailbox after they crashed into my neighbors Lexus. Supervisor was screaming and yelling for nothing like it was my fault. never getting built by mAstec
Jordan is nowhere near Messi's popularity. outside of usa Jordan is nothing belive i haven't seen a single person who watches basketball and knows Jordan
I love MJ and I know he's the basketball GOAT and big in the US but lmao my man, Messi is the GOAT of the greateast most popular sport in the world, loved and watched by BILLIONS of people. Americans I know you're trying to do good by including Messi in your world but you have to understand the world is not the US, there's a whole lot more countries with different taste than yours out there. MJ is huge in America and well known in the rest of the world, Messi is HUGE in the rest of the world and just well known in America, so there's a difference there. I just hope he's able to make football a bit bigger over there.
Are you guys purposely missing the point? We all know Messi is much more famous than MJ. If Messi’s own camp says they want to be the next MJ, then they’re talking about apparel brand greatness and team ownership. The 2 things no other athlete has done better than MJ.
Messi can catch up Jordan's lifetime networth of selling sneakers in just 2years if he really wanted to. 🤣🤣🤣 Al Hilal offered him 1.6B Euros just to play for 2 years. It's Euros and not just a measly dollar.
There are millions who don't know MJ but they know "Messi". Messi doesn't need to become anyone else. This is why you should do some research before using such RUclips Titles.
@@LeBatardShow The fact is Messi's brand is already bigger than MJ. That's a fact, and I'm saying this in the context of the entire world minus US. In the US obviously things are different. For context, Jordan reportedly has raked in over $7 million in royalties since Lionel Messi signed with Paris Saint-Germain, which uses Nike's Jordan Brand for its kits. The scenario is similar to how many in the US think Superbowl is bigger than Football. I think this time around Superbowl had about 120 million viewership. While the Football final (The world sport) had 1.5 Billion viewership.

I think that american are forgetting that Messi won't play the next World Cup. So, is intresting for the promotion, but is a no factor for his desition to go to Miami. On the other part, is probably that he will play the next Copa America. The last dance for him and Di María.

Why is it they interview this guy, when a real and knowledgeable futbol Apple announcer like, I don't know...Chris Whittingham could be interviewed?!!!!
Americans …. Bigger than MJ? No disrespect to MJ… but Messi is bigger than MJ, LeBron + others combined.
There is no better luck for a football (soccer) lover than see Messi on the pitch.
creo que se refiere para la gente estadounidense o para los afroamericanos ... que messi sera mas admirado que su mejor deportista de la historia dentro de estados unidos, ya que en norteamerica no admiran a la gente fuera de ese pais, como si admiran a los que estan dentro de su pais.
Messi is worldwide ….Messi is beyond MJ
But ur right, now he got to be closer to his home of origin and he already owns a propert in miami anyway and is easy for him to prepare for his own national team
They're also building a training facility for Argentinas national team in Miami
Why should he strive to be like Michael Jordan? He's so much bigger than Michael Jordan. Soccer is far far more popular in the world than basketball, more complex too. MJ should strive to be like Messi. Messi is the GOAT, not only the greatest footballer of all time, but many call him the greatest athlete period of all time.
Messi wanting to be next MJ? 😂😂😂 That's a funny one.
Taylor is always a fantastic guest, keep that up
funny how americans think jordan is bigger than messi , a country celebrates his accomplishments
This is offensive…. Messi wanting to be like Michael Jordan…? Y’all really live in a tiny bubble.
Messi’s team is the one that said this.
Don't think Americans understand that football isn't just a sport, it's a way of life and culture, it's by far and away the worlds number 1 sport and is almost a religion in many countries. It's replaced tribalism where clans/armies would go around invading other lands. When you support a team it's not even about entertainment, that's just a bonus. Messi is seen as a living God by 100's of millions around the world, no US sportsman can get close to that.
Fast forward, Messi dominates MLS.
messi is far greater already.. mj is a superstar in eeuu and in some other places .. but messi is in the entire world
Lol Messi is the greatest ever in a sport that the whole world plays and i mean every country in this world. Basketball is so regional. What has he got to prove? He is more well known around the world that all current basketball players combined 😂
Who is Jordan? It is serious.. ask in 70% of Europe (first world countries well above USA such as Germany, Nordic countries, France, Netherlands, Belgium), India, Middle East, China, South west Asia, South America and nowadays no one remembers who was Jordan
True. U can ask the war torn Syrian kid u can ask the elders of afgansthan to kids of Tibet..go to every street on earth the walls have heard the chants of Leo. Mj might be rich but the impact of this little man from rosario is Incomparable through out the world not just his nation and continent.
Wdym well above?
@@smoaky123 Level of education, percentage of college graduates, health services, fewer people living in poverty, fewer murders per capita, better security at retirement age, to name a few.
@@javiercortes5232 but looking at the US as a whole is an extremely ignorant way of looking at it, for example Massachusetts has a higher HDI then just about every European country including Nordic nations and has a higher pop and better economy than Sweden and Norway combined. You can also look at Minnesota, Connecticut, etc. when you lump the whole nation together the more agricultural rural areas drag the numbers down. I know this is probably terrible news to hear since half the world likes to get off at America’s expense these days, but it’s not as black and white as you’d like it to be..
@KING POTUS interesting argument, no doubt. But at the end the subject of comparison is the USA (believe me, I'm a huge fan of a lot of aspects of the American experience) and the average is the country compared with other country. Let me put an example: is like saying that the average of winning/losses of a MLB team must be analyzed taking in consideration the .AVG of the outfielders but no the .RBI of the infield. You have to compare countries to reach a conclusion
MJ bigger than Messi😂😂😂. Americans should get out more.
Messi doesn't need to be next MJ, Messi is bigger than any sports stars, Messi is known Worldwide while MJ is known wthin North America,
37 gol and 25 Assist last season . I wish he smash 40 gol and 30 Assist a season in MLS .
NBA final 2023 average ratings: 11.2 millions
Super Bowl 2023 ratings: 115 millions.
Qatar World Cup Final 2022 ratings: 1.5billion.
That’s where context matters and knowing the impact of Jordan. The highest rated basketball game ever was in the 1998 NBA Finals Game 6, 35.89 million viewers.
differen kind of achivement. MJ fought for 1 trophy every year, Messi fought for 3-6 trophy every year
MJ doesnt even have that many MVPs in his own little sport. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@unggading6990 Jordan has 5 regular season MVP’s and 6 finals MVP’s. That’s 11 by my calculations.
@@PedroDeAlvarado81 Finals mvp lol🤣🤣🤣🤣 It just means he is the best player in the Finals. Not the entire world
@@unggading6990 It does mean the entire world, there were foreign players in the NBA at time.
Messi played on glorified super teams like the 2017 Warriors everywhere he played. Barca & PSG, Messi wasn’t taking bums to domestic titles and UCL finals. He’s surrounded by the best players in the world.
@@PedroDeAlvarado81 So Iggy is the best player in the world the year they won the championship? How about parker? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who is jordan???
PSG had Jordan's Bulls shorts, and the navy ones had the same design pattern.
Yeah! Jordan is even sponsoring Messi. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's how popular Messi is.
PLS. MORE. MESSI. HYPE. @LeBatardShow
Got you.
@@LeBatardShow much respect & ah salute to the crew
I loved the bulls growing up messi is in another league to jordan football is much bigger around the world than nba
how is Mickel Jordal?
Messi is bigger than MJ by a mile!
Michael Jordan is the Messi of Basketball!
You miss the point ....Messi is waaaaaaaaay bigger than MJ ...😂
Mastec did a crap job in our neighborhood and att is suing them from messing everything up. i lost internet for 3 weeks because their incompetence. Also a Mastec truck ran over my mailbox after they crashed into my neighbors Lexus. Supervisor was screaming and yelling for nothing like it was my fault. never getting built by mAstec
Oh no , maybe messi wants to be the next Taylor swift ft billie eillish 🐧🐧
😂😂🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jordan is nowhere near Messi's popularity. outside of usa Jordan is nothing belive i haven't seen a single person who watches basketball and knows Jordan
I love MJ and I know he's the basketball GOAT and big in the US but lmao my man, Messi is the GOAT of the greateast most popular sport in the world, loved and watched by BILLIONS of people. Americans I know you're trying to do good by including Messi in your world but you have to understand the world is not the US, there's a whole lot more countries with different taste than yours out there. MJ is huge in America and well known in the rest of the world, Messi is HUGE in the rest of the world and just well known in America, so there's a difference there. I just hope he's able to make football a bit bigger over there.
Are you guys purposely missing the point? We all know Messi is much more famous than MJ.
If Messi’s own camp says they want to be the next MJ, then they’re talking about apparel brand greatness and team ownership. The 2 things no other athlete has done better than MJ.
Messi can catch up Jordan's lifetime networth of selling sneakers in just 2years if he really wanted to. 🤣🤣🤣 Al Hilal offered him 1.6B Euros just to play for 2 years. It's Euros and not just a measly dollar.
LOOOOOOOOL!!!!! Already way bigger than that basketball guy ever was.
There are millions who don't know MJ but they know "Messi". Messi doesn't need to become anyone else.
This is why you should do some research before using such RUclips Titles.
Messi’s team is the one saying they want to be like MJ.
@@LeBatardShow The fact is Messi's brand is already bigger than MJ. That's a fact, and I'm saying this in the context of the entire world minus US. In the US obviously things are different.
For context, Jordan reportedly has raked in over $7 million in royalties since Lionel Messi signed with Paris Saint-Germain, which uses Nike's Jordan Brand for its kits.
The scenario is similar to how many in the US think Superbowl is bigger than Football. I think this time around Superbowl had about 120 million viewership. While the Football final (The world sport) had 1.5 Billion viewership.
@@BimanGhosh The last world cup was watched by 3.5 Billion people my guy. 1.5 Billion is like a common viewership for El Classico.
@@unggading6990 well I won't argue with that, as it's completely feasible.
@@BimanGhosh Qatar released their viewership. Hahaha! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For all the people talking about the comparison, I think they mean MJs business success away from sports
Messi can catch up Jordan's lifetime networth of selling sneakers in just 2years if he really wanted to. 🤣🤣🤣 Al Hilal offered him 1.6B Euros just to play for 2 years. It's Euros and not just a measly dollar.
Hey to the no, nicheal jordan is not close to messi popularity and fame
typical Americans🤣🤣 think MJ is more famous. open ur big eyes. Messi is like a religion
Messi is way way way bigger than mike
Sorry to break it to you american but Messi already greater than MJ
He is the Planet Superstar
He has the world cup
Michael Jordan dominated america and Europe but messi is for the world
I loved the joke.
Striving to be like MJ? Why would he wanna go backwards?
Hate to burst y'all bubbles but Messi says he's not playing in the 2026 WC
The key word might not
😄
I think that american are forgetting that Messi won't play the next World Cup. So, is intresting for the promotion, but is a no factor for his desition to go to Miami. On the other part, is probably that he will play the next Copa America. The last dance for him and Di María.
7 billion people knows him....even the remote part of the world ..even the african tribes recognise him
Messi wants to be the next MJ😅😅😅.. Messi has more insta followers than US population✌️
No Jose altuve is well known multi sports athlete
why does he say "Pele" like that???
Michael who?
Hey oya, he's gonna dorminte cause he still hot and a machine till now
MESSI > BASKETBALL (around the world)
Messi is bigger than NBA and NFL combined 🤣🤣🤣🤣
MJ wishes he could have half the fans that Messi has
Messi striving to be like MJ..kikiki..lucky this internet own by american
Joke of the century!!
But it could be true for americans...
The real thing is that, MESSI is already great, only thing is that they don't know what they are freaking with😎
FACTS
MJ is NOTHING compared to Messi lol.
Lol what.. a perfect American Moment 🗿
