Wow, without any doubt whatsover Kobe Bryant is the greatest basketball player ever.
But Michael Jackson is more than that.
Micheal is the most famous person on the planet earth.
More people across the globe know about Michael Jackson that any other person ever in human history.
It's phenomenal what Michael has done for mankind.
We're all going to remember him forever.
Kobe is not the greatest
Did you hear Magic Johnson's speech at the memorial today? He said Jackson's music made him a better guard. WHAT? That is completely retarded.

LOL, that's hilarious. How would pop music of all things make you better at a sport?
And this is the sad state of the world. They worship a pedophile and possible murderer instead of good people.
This world is so f***ed up.
Not that Bryant is anymore upstanding, he did rape someone. And he's just a great basketball player, hasn't done a whole lot (beyond the norm expected of people with fame/money) for people. There are much better examples.
Magic's point was that Michael Jackson was the best in his field, the best ever, so watching him provided inspiration. Watching Michael inspired Magic to strive to be as good of a point guard as Michael was an entertainer.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh today.
"Watching Michael inspired Magic to strive to be as good of a point guard as Michael was an entertainer."
Thanks for the laugh. I don't buy that for a minute. Magic was kissing black (or white?) ass, just like everyone else.
KB the man. The greatest B-Ball player ever. You know it too.

Ummm...ever hear of Adolf Hitler (or Albert Einstein) (or Abraham Lincoln) (or George W Bush) (or Plato) (or a number of other people known to more around the world than Michael Jackson, and who have also had a much larger impact on the world, for better or worse, than him).
I agree.
About a year and a half ago I went on a few dates with a chemistry professor that didn't know who P-Diddy was. I was kind of surprised at first, but then it struck me as kind of refreshing. I'm sure there are more people out there that don't know who MJ is than we think. Okay, I'm done with my stupid anecdote.
the only reason you're so mad is because you know it's true... like it or not, Kobe Bryant is WITHOUT A DOUBT the greatest basketball player ever.
He's not even the best CURRENT player. LeBron and Wade are both better than he is (or will ever be).
Those of us old enough to remember the world of hate before Michael know that the because of the peace and love Michael brought to the world, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, the Soviet Union dismissed Communism, China focused on Capitalism, Quadafi abandoned terrorism, IRA/UK settled historic differences, etc. The tranquility and harmony we all experience at U.S. track & field and cross country meets as people of all colors get together for competitions, didn't exist before Michael. It was Michael's music and magic that transcended hate and brought out the love that hateful people hadn't experienced since childhood. Michael did that to billions across the globe.

A lot of people might not know who P-diddy is, WHILE knowing who he is. He hasnt' always been called P-diddy, and not sure he still is? He's changing his names these days more often than prince.
Kobe is the greatest NBA star ever.
Even if KB is not the greatest,anyone else that is the greatest is still a black man.
Michael Jordan = greatest b-ball player
Michael Jackson was an incredible entertainer. However, he is/was not the most famous person on the planet. Yes, he was quite famous, but not the most famous.
Among those that I would put ahead of him: Jesus, Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II, Abe Lincoln, Michael Jordan, Mohamad Ali, Tiger Woods and Barack Obama.
No argument can be made. The King of Pop is Michael Jackson, of Gary, IN, the most famous and loved person in ever to have lived. The King of Basketball is Kobe Bryant, of Philadelphia, PA, the most incredible athlete that has ever lived.

aside from unseen religious figures (jesus, mohamed), michael jackson has to be the most famous person ever. in a time without TV, i doubt hitler was known to as large of a proportion of the world as MJ was/is. i assume like all famous/good/evil people that die, hitler's infamy grew after his death (as more details about the holocaust came out).
think of it this way:
if any of those people you (or the poster before you) mentioned were to be suddenly dropped into any country in the world, who would people immediately recognize? who would people reach out to try to touch? who would people faint over? michael jackson. his music and videos transcended language and culture. you have/had kids all over the world imitating his moves. never has their been, nor will be a more famous person in the world.
