yeah, it sucks that by choosing one it's like you dislike the other.

my rationale is just based on longevity. jackson started performing at like 8 and could still be performing if he had lived.

let's face it when you get to that level of wealth the debate isn't about money.

For all of you saying Michael Jordan easily, what happens if you suffer a career ending injury or a nagging injury that never allows you to get back to 100%?

I'm going with Michael Jackson's entertainment talent if we're going with talent alone and not their personal lives.

So your dick is longer than 16 " and bigger than 13" in circumference?

In all seriousness. 16" has to be too big. Just take a ruler, add 4" to it and see how far that would go down your leg. You could use that sucka as a third arm.

This guy:

John Young

They say he did not strap in and fly his airplane or spacecraft. He strapped it on and wore it.

For all you people saying Jordan or Jackson, the question is about their talent only, not their money.
There are plenty of people just as talented as they are in those fields, but don’t have the money.

I'll take Jackson's.

Being a supreme basketball player is great and all, but all it takes is one freak play. Guys like Derrick Rose and Boogie could have been HOF guys, but then injuries happened. Obviously they were never as talented as MJ, but the point still stands.

Music on the hand, you can make music basically up until the day you die. MJ died fairly young, but had he lived until his 80s, he could have still made music that entire time. Eventually his dancing would eventually fade. But he can always write for other artists, make his own music, background vocals, etc. Hell, I guarantee he could sell out a crowd at 86 sitting in a chair on stage while struggling to remember the words to all of his hits.

i think people let their dislike for Jackson cloud their decision. give me his or Prince's talent's over an athlete every time.

The better question is when you hear the name MJ, who do you think of? Jordan or Jackson?

Friend and coworker after several drinks started crying that women would only give him BJ's and not let him stick it in.

There is no one out there as talented as the GOAT basketball player and the Prince of Pop. If there were, fame and fortune would necessarily follow.

Jordan was the greatest because he is a sociopath (borderline psycho).

This all may be true, but after doing volunteer medical work while in the Navy, I can verify with reasonable certainty that the "talent" gap in Holmes' case is way more the outlier than the gap between the two Michaels within their fields.

Feel free to believe otherwise.

There are numerous stories on how Holmes had difficulty getting and maintaining erections. It Waldo was not pleasurable to most of his partners. Which means that it’s more of a curse.

I'd take the music talent. You still got enough money to buy all the snizz you want and it's a lot less time consuming than being a basketball player. Jackson could've made 50 million a year in performing/endorsements and probably only did 20 shows a year.
