    Lebron would guard MJ far better than MJ would guard Lebron.

    I'd like to see 26 year old Lebron drive the basket on 26 year old MJ so everyone clutching their VCRs and Space Jam footie pajamas could get the idea.

    The result would be a traveling call on James as Michael would have locked him up. MJ was a 9X NBA All-Defensive First Teamer - and the NBA Defensive Player of the Year when he was 25.

    MJ was good, but he got those defensive player of the year awards on reputation basically. Rodman and Pippin were probably better defenders on his own team.

  • A great offense is the best defense...

    You get one week to be 1 athlete of the 5 Major Sports ( No WWE is Not, sorry) Active, Retired or Deceased. Who would You Be?? Of Course I Would Be Gronk, Plays like a Champ and Can Have Fun With It Also 😁

    There are only 4 major spectator sports....unless you are including golf or auto racing. Volleyball, Lacrosse, soccer, have not crossed the threshold into being major yet.

    What are you talking about. What does that have to do with what is a "major sport" in this country. Just because a sport calls itself "Major League" doesn't make it so. If that were the case, then the MLL would be considered a major sport. Or the MISL.

    u still missed it. maybe you failed to recognize the sport at all with it being less than 30 years old, or perhaps intentionally omitted it...regardless you seem to not have recognized any of the names and/or also lacked the knowledge or interest to google any of them, although currently incredibly mainstream and relevant. it's not my job to promote the UFC, Dana White does a good enough job himself...and while i'm sure you are aware of it, you obviously have no interest in it so i will pass and instead rest my case. but it's certainly worthy of being top 5, not just in the States but also in the world.

    you embarrass yourself. biweekly ppv's, on like season 10 of TUF...it's not about attendance in a civic arena or winner's purse, it's about draw and gate earnings. it's brutal and taboo and has a lot to overcome and probably never be on the major networks due to it. nor could any of the top 10 in ur link ever sell a ppv aside from pro wrestling. but that's ok, keep visiting ur national parks and recanting history, nothing wrong w variety...u got ur thing and i got mine. and ur link showed me nothing except boxing didn't even get mentioned and that it's content was based upon "our source of information is the websites which are being searched or browsed most in America." nice.

    Your thing is a minor niche sport....and that is fine if that is what you like.

    But its not about any money issue....it is about what people want/like. (The chart was as of Jan. 2015)

    And even if it is about money.....a basically dying sport still broke the bank over what MMA does.

  • Michael Jordan. Not for the loot, chicks, or golf. But for the unequaled ability to absolutely pwn anybody that checked him. He's the GOAT - and it's not even debatable. LeBro...who? Puh-leeze.

    Jordan was awesome but it's still debatable with Wilt Chamberlain

  • Easy..... F1 driver James Hunt. I'd be most every woman's fantasy, plus I'd get to see what the whole being dead thing was all about.

  • How is "Olympics" a sport?

  • Sporting events.

  • The title of the graph says "Most Popular Sports Among American Adults" ............ "My favorite sport is Olympics!"...

  • Between the Men's WC last year, the Women's WC this year, the 2016 Copa America tourney being held in the US, (and potentially the 2022 WC), growing popularity of the EPL, growing popularity and expansion of the MLS, bringing older overseas stars to the MLS, shifting US demographics to ethnicities that watch soccer, etc etc etc

    Among 12-24 year old in the US, Messi is their 4th favorite athlete and Ronaldo is their 7th.

    Or this graphic from a few years ago, showing Pro Soccer as the 2nd favorite sport among 12-24 year olds

    Soccer.jpg

    Soccer is growing in popularity in this country, whether some want to admit it or not.

    On the other hand....

    On the other hand Baseball is dying a slow death. The average fan is getting older and older as kids today become less interested in the sport. I find the sport incredibly boring, and look forward to it becoming much less relevant. Watching the same Top 10s all summer, a variation of maybe three different plays in baseball, gets incredibly old...

  • Baseball is exciting compared to soccer, in my opinion. And a true American sport.

    and how old might you be?

  • Damn... all of those graphs and numbers... and it was the last post on the page, lol

  • Golf is not a sport, unless you want to include pool, darts, poker or Jenga to the conversation.

    I'd be Anderson Varejao so I could lay around collecting ten million dollars a year knowing full well that I'd never have to play more than 13 games a season for the rest of my shit soaked career.

    I'd count my money and laugh and laugh mumbling "there's one born every second" under my unbearable Brazilian breath.
