MJ is at least 3 times richer than Lebron despite being out of public eye for 20 yrs

[3ba11]

Lebron has a good chance to be a major owner of the Vegas expansion. Entirely possible it drives his worth up similar to Jordan. Wouldn’t be shocking.

It wouldn't be shocking but he's still an underdog to do it if Jordan's great track record of investing continues to pad his solid headstart

And Lebron wouldn't even have the idea to own an NBA team if MJ didn't lay the foundation and be a ground-breaker for everything

Sure but he teamed with other first options so would that really count?

his desire to own a team is from his desire to copy jordan - he thinks that he needs to own a team to match Jordan, instead of doing something else that's just as impressive and that's his own thing (not just a copycat of jordan)

Despite Lebron's efforts to copy Jordan, he can't develop a "pippen" like Hughes, Ingram, or Westbrook - Lebron didn't copy that from MJ because he lacked sufficient basketball skill to do it... Instead of developing "pippens", his skillset develops "dellys" by imposing spot-up roles - he produces at the expense of teammate development, teammate stats and team ceiling/Finals record.

it's sad that this intuitive reality is missed by so many hoops fans who learn their hoops knowledge from cable TV

Lebron actually had a massive headstart by getting $100 million at 18 years old, while MJ didn't make that kind of money until he was 35 or so.. So Lebron sucks compared to MJ at hoops and money

Does anyone deny Jordan has been a more popular player?

He’s the most marketable athlete of all time.

Who denies this? Is there actually a large contingent of people that do?

You’re talking about fake debates while literally peddling one LOL.

I don't measure people by their wealth, so this is a silly discussion in my opinion.

Why are you such a massive ****? Feel free to answer that question later.

This thread is beyond stupid mod above me. Just shut it down?

MJ bought a low profile club in his home state.

Just sat on it, didn't make himself the face of the franchise. Barely showed up for games.

Pocketed a couple billion in 10 years. Legit an investing masterpiece.

Unlike dumbass russian oligarchs or narcissistic rappers like Jay-Z.

MJ on that Donald Sterling program.

Probably all good that he sold now. If Charlotte had continued being that poorly run, the league would have given him the Sterling run around, probably some #metoo bs.

You've likely noticed that 3nutball likes to create threads arguing things that nobody was actually debating about.

teenager, who sucks at bball, is gifted $100 mil by age 18. how horrendous!!

i wouldnt be surprised if your income views are just as bad as your bball takes - based on the few posts, yup, not surprised lol

[Hey Yo]

You've been reduced to comparing their incomes

That's cause he thinks Peja can't destroy him again on this subject.

MJ layed the foundation for a 7-59 record in 2012.

What a backfire lmao.

[Johnny32]

That's nice but on the court MJ is a worse/less efficient scorer than LBJ, a worse rebounder, a worse playmaker and passer, a worse/less versatile defender, a worse leader wIth lower basketball iq...who's also 4 inches shorter and 60 lbs lighter.

Not my goat.
