Watching this Jordan documentary got me thinking of how similar his career path was with that of Mario Lemieux.
And in my opinion both are the most talented and physically dominant players to ever play their sports.
Interesting to ponder.
I wonder which one is better at golf?
- Both drafted in 84 after stellar amateur careers.
- Both gained enormous individual accomplishments/scoring titles in the 80s without great team success.
- Both were bounced in the playoffs with a subpar team in their first few tries and had to overcome better teams
- Both were MVP of the 1988 all star games of their respective leagues.
- Both were 3 time all-star MVPs.
- Both won their first championship in 1991.
- Both won their second championship in 1992.
- Both took the label of "best in the world" at pretty concurrent times.
- Both were the best players in the 1990s in their respective sports without even playing in the full decade.
- Both took a large amount of time off in their physical primes in the 90s after winning multiple championships, Mario for injury, Michael for baseball.
- Both retired in the late 90s still with good years left
- Both came back out of retirement in the early 2000s.
- Both are now owners of teams
