In the current digital era, Cristiano Ronaldo was informed that Michael Jordan would have “doubled” his social media following. Ronaldo is the most followed individual on Instagram, with a total of 648 million followers. In 2024, his YouTube account garnered 73 million views and 1 million followers, resulting in substantial sponsorship and endorsement fees.
Scottie Pippen, a Chicago Bulls veteran, is of the opinion that Michael Jordan would have garnered a greater audience if social media had been available during his prime, despite Ronaldo’s impressive ratings.
Pippen made a daring prediction during a recent PBD Podcast interview that Jordan’s global influence would have become more profound as a result of social media. Ronaldo’s online presence is impressive; however, Pippen’s remarks underscore Jordan’s potential in the present day.
