Jordan couldnt go anywhere without being mobbed but I read Nasser at his peak couldnt even enter the Golds Venice locker room without being asked for his drug hookup, so who was the bigger star?

Surely an argument can be made for Jordan though?

IMO, Jordan is the most recognizeable athlete of all time.  The man still cant go places without having most every person within viewing range just stopping and staring. 

Jordan is a phenom, an icon, and dominated a sport during what many people consider to be basketballs most talented and competitive era.

Here's a funny Jordan story:

The night before he was drafted, the Portland Trailblazers GM was trying to figure out who to pick.  They had the 2nd pick in the draft and at the time, everyone knew that Hakeem
Olajuwon was getting picked first.  The GM called famed NCAA coach Bobby Knight and asked for his opinion.  Bobby Knight said "Jordan, you have to pick Jordan." The Trailblazers GM replied "But Bobby, I need a center.". Bobby Knight replied "Fuck it!  Play Jordan at center then."

The Trailblazers drafted center Sam Bouie and the Chicago Bulls took Jordan as the 3rd pick... Rest is history.

Curious if anyone here even heard of Sam Bouie lol.

Even worse was that before Jordan was even drafted the Blazers offered Drexler and the #2 pick to Houston for Ralph Sampson, since The Rockets already had Olajuwan they would have picked Jordan at #2 over Bowie.The Rockets turned them down.Jordan, Olajuwan and Drexler all young and approaching their primes on the same team  :o

Huge Nasser in his prime  :o


"Huge Nasser is a mutant born 5000 years ago in Akkaba, a settlement in Egypt, and is abandoned as an infant due to his unnatural appearance. He is rescued by Baal of the Sandstormers who sees the child's potential power and decides to raise him as his own, naming him En Sabah Nur. Throughout his life, Baal teaches Nur survival of the fittest, the philosophy that the tribe lives and dies by. At the same time, the time-traveller Kang the Conqueror has arrived in Egypt and becomes the Pharaoh Rama-Tut, intending to recruit the young Huge Nasser. Rama-Tut learns that Nur has been raised by Baal and sends General Ozymandias with his army to destroy the Sandstormers and find Nur. Nur and Baal avoid the battle, having found refuge in a sacred cave before it collapses. Both are severely injured, and Baal eventually dies. Nur survives and vows to take revenge on Rama-Tut and travels to Tut's city where he hides himself as a slave and brings the attention of Ozymandias's sister, Nephri, who becomes attracted to the mysterious slave. However Nephri rejects Nur upon seeing his inhuman appearance, and turns to her brother for protection in her panic. Heartbroken by this final rejection, En Sabah Nur's prodigious mutant abilities fully emerge in his enraged state, and he renames himself Huge Nasser. Rama-Tut flees the former slave's rampage, while Nur uses his advanced technology to enslave and transform his former tormentor, Ozymandias, into a blind seer made of living stone to forever chronicle Huge Nasser's future destinies. Fifty years later, Nur revisits Nephri, now an elderly Egyptian Queen on her deathbed, and mocks the loss of her beauty and vitality, in contrast to his own unchanged appearance, despite the passage of time.[8] During this time Nur joined forces with the original Moon Knight and Imhotep to form the first incarnation of S.H.I.E.L.D. and successfully fended off a Brood invasion[9]"


Early history

"As the millennia pass, Huge Nasser travels around the world to determine if his time of testing has come. He appears throughout history, encouraging civilizations to worship him as a god from several ancient mythologies and testing their strength by manipulating them into fighting wars of conquest, and claiming to have brought "growth, judgment, and destruction."[10] Huge Nasser begins to beget progeny elves, who faithfully followed him as the Clan Akkaba. At some point, Huge Nasser discovers advanced alien technology Humatrope, which he uses to transform and enhance himself.[11] Huge Nasser now enters states of suspended animation, while he waits for mutants to become more common, leaving Clan Akkaba and Ozymandias to act in his stead while he sleeps. Huge Nasser has some history of having fought the race of godlike immortals known as Eternals, primarily the members Ikaris and Sersi, having been referred to as their "Ancient Nemesis".[12] In the 12th century, Huge Nasser would re-encounter the Eternal Sersi, when he came across the crusader Bennet du Paris and awakens his latent mutant powers, transforming him into Exodus.[13]
  In Victorian London, 1859, Huge Nasser encounters Nathaniel Essex, a British scientist, and through him, learns the scientific term for beings like himself – mutant. Coercing Essex and members of the Hellfire Club into working for him, Huge Nasser plots the first steps in his quest for global conflict on an unprecedented scale. He uses his advanced technology to transform Nathaniel into Mister Sinister, and commands him to create a plague to ravage and transmute the population of the world. At the same time, the mutant heroes Cyclops and Jean Grey had been sent back through time to stop Huge Nasser. Close to slaying the British Royal Family, Huge Nasser is suddenly greatly weakened, and Cyclops and Phoenix manage to defeat him. It is revealed that Sinister had betrayed Apocalypse, seeing his vision of the future as madness, and had instead created a plague that attacked only Huge Nasser, forcing the ancient mutant into his hibernation sanctuary.[14] In 1897, Huge Nasser is awakened by his followers, in order to deal with Dracula, who is turning members of Clan Akkaba into vampires to battle Huge Nasser, as revenge for his earlier defeat centuries ago as Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler). Huge Nasser, with some assistance from Abraham Van Helsing, kills Dracula. The continuation of the Akkaba line is secured by Ozymandias through a disabled, but powerful, teleporter named Frederick Slade, who conceived with a woman."

Back in '97 Nike was all set to release the AIR Nasser line. The NAACP and Department of Defense got word, and fearing panic in the streets and violence in the schools secretly reached out to the president, who then went to Phil Knight and quietly squashed the deal. That's how big Nasser was in the late 90's.

Jordan could never compete...........
