Michael Jordan has been sent a loose request by Lionel Messi, as the Argentina captain wants to take a photo with the basketball icon and current NASCAR team owner
Inter Miami star Lionel Messi is one of the most recognisable athletes in the world and also a major celebrity, but somehow he's never crossed paths with NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Ahead of Copa America which is being held in the United States, Messi was asked which sportsperson he'd most like to meet. "From the sports world, I would like to have a photo with Jordan - meet him and have a photo with him," Messi told ESPN Argentina. Just like the constant comparisons between Messi and Ronaldo, with football fans debating who is the greatest player of all-time, the same type of argument takes place in the NBA. In the world of basketball, fans constantly clash when proposing arguments for Jordan or LeBron James.
Conrad was referencing the ugly ending to Ronaldo's second stint with Manchester United, and made the comparison a month before he signed for Al-Nassr. Messi has also left Europe after signing for MLS side Miami, but after winning the World Cup with Argentina in 2022, he's compared to LeBron as he's still performing at the elite level despite his age.Messi will look to win Copa America this summer, adding another international trophy to his collection.
