The adoration for Tiger Woods by the middle-age (and up) demographic proves there is room for a basketball player to steal or share the hearts of even the most staunch Jordan fans.

Even the crustiest of us older, white men will admit that Tiger is in the discussion with Jack or better than him. The reasons for this are many, but a lot of it has to do with how likable he is.

LeChode, on the other hand, is such an unlikable, self-aggrandizing douche that many of us Jordan honks won’t even give him the courtesy of being in the conversation.

Don’t fool yourself. Tiger is a douche bag also. The difference is old white folks love Tiger. Young white kids love LeBron.

Most people I grew up around didn’t like Tiger for some reason, especially the olds

Yep, this thread does not exist if Tiger didn’t win.

And btw, people on this board used to be tired of Tiger.

Tiger is a different person now. Scandal, injuries, mediocrity, and fatherhood have humbled him.

America loves redemption stories and he is now much more human and relatable than he used to be.

Tiger and Jordan had strong father figures they desperately want to make proud. And they we're charismatic, and their PR people taught them to project a polished uncontroversial image in public. LeBron has never had anyone kick him in the butt and tell him to shut up and get to work. All he knows is he's the Chosen One. And his PR people taught him to speak out on social justice which is unfortunate because he's a fricking idiot who has no idea what he's talking about

Despite all of that, most of the evidence points to LeBron being the better person than Tiger. The fake hate crime thing is the only factor that even makes it somewhat of a discussion IMO.

Considering the OP’s historical hatred of LeBron, it can definitely constitute as a melt.

LeBron is way over-scrutinized, and I’m not even a fan of his.

We don't really determine who we like based on a list of sins and virtues. Some people are just likeable and some aren't.

Say what you want about tiger and his demons but I think what turns off a lot of people to lebron is all the sjw stuff. I can’t imagine tiger woods wearing a paper clip and faking a racial spray painting incident.
