Who was greater at what they did, Michael Jordan or Bruce Lee?

Question

and tell me why?

Answer 1

lee, he had great precision! he had the moves and the looks! an attractive package. jordan is more of a popularity issue.

Answer 2

Michael Jordon was one of the greatest athletes of all time, Bruce Lee was an actor/stuntman.

Answer 3

By far Bruce Lee for this reason. As much as Michael Jordan truly loved basketball, there were still designated times in his life where he could "step away" from it. He often took much deserved time off to do other things and explore other passions.

Bruce Lee on the other hand COULD NEVER let himself stop trying to reach human perfection. He would geniously orchestrate even the most seemingly mundane task in to part of his overall training. He wanted his physical fibers to transcend his own humanity. He actually became infuriated with himself because he could still see the faint blurr of his kicks. THINK ABOUT THAT FOR 1 MINUTE........ He was actually down on himself because his kicks were not completely invisible!!!

That almost borderlines insanity!

Perhaps among 20th century famous people, only the great escape artist Harry Houdini came even remotely close to Bruce Lee's insane drive for physical and mental skill omnipitance.

Bruce in many ways through his intense Chi or "Lifeforce" did transcend physical boundries on to a spiritual plane.

Unlike other athletes, "Real Traditional" Kung fu masters get even better as they get older through the power of their chi.

Had Bruce Lee lived past the age of 32, maybe just maybe he would have someday been able to throw that "Invisible Kick"!

Answer 4

Micheal Jordan Proved he was the greatest basketball player of all time with his stats and with his championships. Nobody ever beat Jordan in the finals that should say something. MVP and Championships Jordan did everything a great basketball player was supposed too do and more.

Bruce Lee in my own personal opinion is more of a Myth. Everyone talks about how strong and how quick he was but when did he ever prove himself in actual fight? Maybe he did and I just haven't heard about it. Most of the footage I have seen of him rather it be Training or Fighting in Movies none of it was filmed in actual battle all of its choreographed so Lee can win. That's why I have a hard time believing that Today he would be dominate in MMA but according to Bruce Lee fans he could have beat anybody.
