“Michael Jordan is Michael Jackson, Kobe is Usher and Lebron is Chris Brown”

I guess that all depends on whether you put Chris Brown in front of Usher, I know I don’t”

Prince > Michael Jackson too, btw.

Prince needs that AD Movie Special like MJ had.
I have a feeling that Prince wasn’t rehearsing for his Tours though, instead he was on Planet Ulptar reupping on his Magic

If you had to delete one entire music catalogue, freeze freeze ......would you delete Prince or MJ?

No possible way you say MJ.
Not granted, MJ the best ever, as far as an entertainer....but Prince won the MJ or Prince contest.....and it wasn’t close

Did you know that Michael Jordan’s money saved Spike Lee’s Malcolm X film?

Maybe it was a jesture meant to show support for a film that would be helpful to the black community. Maybe it was just a favor being done for a friend. But a lot of people don’t know that Spike Lee gave Michael Jordan credit (along with other donors) for giving him the money he needed to finish the famous film, “Malcolm X” that he did over 20 years ago.

According to the New York Times, Lee mentioned that Jordan was the person who helped him to keep the film alive when Hollywood wanted to bury it. Anyone who saw the film knows why Hollywood would never want to see something like this in theaters anyway.

According to Lee, the major donors for the film were Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Earvin (Magic) Johnson, Janet Jackson, Prince, and Peggy Cooper Cafritz, founder of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington.

Lee gave a press conference at the Schomberg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem to discuss the project back in 1992. He said that he had to go outside to get the money after the Completion Bond Company refused to approve any more of the spending necessary to make the film the right way. Lee was told that the film could only be two hours and 15 minutse and that Warner Brothers, who was producing the film and distributing it, would not pay another “single penny” to complete it.

The film had originally been budgeted at $28 million, which was a handsome figure for that time. Then, the price tag rose to $33 million, and finally $40 million by the time it was said and done.

“This is not a loan,” said Lee, back in 1992. “They are not investing in the film. These are black folks with some money who came to the rescue of the movie. As a result, this film will be my version. Not the bond company’s version, not Warner Brothers’. I will do the film the way it ought to be, and it will be over three hours.”

Lee says that his salary to direct the film was $3 million and that he was using $2 million of it to complete the project.

“When we began the film, we never had the amount of money we needed,” he said.

Robert G. Friedman, a Warner spokesman, said that “We’re very pleased with the film and look forward to seeing the completed version.

So, we ask you: Does this information give you a different perspective on Michael Jordan? Some know him to be a stingy, greedy person who doesn’t care much for the black community. Others think he’s simply misunderstood and does his good work in private, where no one can see.

why do you say no. career to career. catalogue to catalogue. In your opinion, Princes was better?

Oh yea. MJ’s last hit was You Rock My World with Chris Tucker in the video, and I guess, Butterflies.
That was 20 years ago round about, well xScape had one hit, **** jammed hard, Love Never Felt so Good, but Prince, man just from 2001 on he had multiples....

But even though MJ has two of my favs of all time with PYT and Human Nature, Prince smashes MJ in the 80’s even though MJ had Bad and Thriller.
Mike might have won the 70’s, but yea, Prince my choice 100/99 times

Under the Cherry Moon GOAT MOVIE TOO!
Parade Album was flawless

I wouldn't say THAT but I will say NBA players posting videos of them working out and/or working on skills is funny to me. Like, what else SHOULD you be doing in your spare time?

Imagine if all professions did something similar
 
Prince is to trap music what James Brown is to hip hop. I'd sooner stop watching basketball than throw out Princes or MJs catalog :lol:
