Wayne Gretzky vs Michael Jordan

[Tacker]

Forget Kobe or Lebron the only other person who can match up to Michael Jordan is Wayne Gretzy, who was better at their respective sport, who was more influential?

Mario Lemieux

son put a heater on the ice skating rink and the brothas would dominate as usual.

I think it's Gretzky, mainly because Kobe is around to challenge some of Jordans accomplishments... But I can't see anyone touching Gretzkys.

It's the same way with Jerry Rice. He's far and away the best reciever ever, and I dot think that will be challenged for quite awhile.

Gretzky.

Jordan was thrown out for a year. And then quit on another year, slipping in at the very end to try and cheat a ring. Uh, uh.

Lemieux was better than Gretzky
Bird was better than Jordan.

but Jordan is more influencial globally and economically than Gretzky.

+1000

Lemieux was more spectacular

Plus, if he didn't miss so many seasons because of cancer, he would have had all Gretzky's records

Yup. Nobody's close to breaking Gretzky's records.

But alot of Jordan's records and championships will be surpassed by Kobe and LeBron.

Fuck Gretzky

Montreal Canadiens spanked the Kings and Gretzky in the 93 Stanley Cup Finals
:eyebrows

[Rip-Hamilton32]

no1 will ever touch Gretzky and even though Mario missed a lot of games he wouldn't have passed Wayne

Fuck all the fags who think faggot ass kobe or lebron are on par with Jordan. Im not gna list his accomplishments coz we all know em and either one isnt gonna achieve that much.

As for the original arguement... if im correct Gretzky won 8 MVPS! Thats nuts but jordans stil close... and since Jordan was HUGE around the world and helped popularize the sport everywhere... it goes to him.

Jordan IS the GOAT and I dont see any current players touching him.

Bird was not better than Jordan or Magic. Bird had a stacked team with two other hall of fame big men and an all star guard who was also a finals MVP yet with all this talent around him he only won three rings.

Bird only won three championships. Magic won five. If Kobe and Lebron win 6 or 7 they pass Magic and are right there next to Jordan.

Ummm, based on his stats and the games he missed (not to mention the potential playoffs he could have played), he would have.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Who gives a flying fuck about a sport that has 100 turnovers for every goal.

[ajh18]

Gretsky and Tiger (and perhaps Jack Nicklaus) probably trump Jordan in terms of dominating their sports.

In terms of being a global icon, I'd give the edge to both Pele' and Ali. In the US, Babe Ruth was probably the equivalent of Jordan in his heyday.

As for the whole package, who knows, but that's a nice group of athletes to be included in, and I think an argument could be made for any one of them ahead of any other.
