Idk about secretariat..considering all the endorsement deals and clothing that MJ had.

My whole point was...people actually make a conscious effort to teach their offspring about Jesus (or whatever religion they are) from the time they're young. People in China or Russia or Egypt or whatever may at some point in their lives have seen MJ during an olympic game or something, but people aren't actively teaching their children about jordan.

That comment was just so wildly unbelievable I doubt a texabook would print it, nor do I even know how that statement could even be veririfed in the first place.

Just because kid in China were making his shoes does not mean they knew who he was. While horse racing has declined in the US it is still a global sport and a super horse like Secretariat was globally known.

I'll give it to Pele, eventhough I really meant an American. And probably Babe Ruth as well. Gretzky was more dominant, but not as renowned. Same with Phelps, etc.

And to those of you that think Jordan would be average in todays game are fricking retarded.

Larry bird and magic Johnson would still be great playing today if they were in their prime.
