That's like saying MJ and Don are equal.

Wilt, Kareem & Magic all have their case as well imo

LeBron is closer to MJ than he is to this bunch imo. And Bill Russell is probably better than two of them.

BTW this poll was probably supposed to be in the general sports forum.

It’s ridiculous to compare across sports.
Unless you are Don Bradman

IDC..but for multiple years, I have made the pilgrimage to Coney Island to watch this legend put 70+ hot dogs down his gullet in 10 minutes while the next best was in the high 40s to low 50s.

No its not lol. Greatest cricketer of all time - Sachin doesn’t even have an argument for top 3. He maybe has an argument for top 5. LeBron is almost unanimously considered #1 or #2 (mainly 2) and the gap between him and MJ? Basically nothing. Far far closer than the gap between Tendulkar and Sobers (excluding Bradman). Unless you’re insane obviously.
You could compare Tendulkar the batsman (rather than the player) vs LeBron the player and that would be roughly even

Tbf Tendulkar is working against 120+ years of cricket history. ATG players from the early-mid 1900s are still considered relevant in GOAT discussions in cricket, whereas in basketball, it's just around 60 years or so. Cricket has a much larger pool of players throughout history and a very different sport where it's more difficult to compare players across disciplines/specialisations than basketball.
Also Tendulkar didn't have to leave India to chase and finally WC and basketball is a lamer sport.

Removing Bradman from the discussion, Sobers is pretty clearly the greatest cricketer in history. The only guy that you can have any case is for Grace and even that imho is bit of a stretch as much as I love W.G.
Still went with Sachin tho, I would probably put him over everyone except Wilt and MJ.

I would consider Sobers and Imran far better analogues for MJ and LeBron.

If we are comparing across sports, guess ODI's should have some weightage; then Sachin imo is ahead of Imran.
