NBA legend Michael Jordan has a vast global fanbase, and he is widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Recently, after the ‘Top 50 players in history’ prompt given to ChatGPT by a sports fan page on Twitter, fans got enraged at the results that the Generative AI gave. It placed Michael Jordan in the 2nd position, LeBron at #1.

After looking at the complete list, it was found that the NBA legend Kobe Bryant on #14 and the Phoenix Suns legend Charles Barkley was placed ahead of him. Fans got mad at seeing Kobe not in the top 3 and MJ fans reflected their concern for not seeing him at the #1 place. Meanwhile, the catastrophic air pollution on the East Coast intensified with smoke from Canadian fires permeating the area. Fans compared the haze and Michael Jordan in a very weird analogy.

But now, in the social media era, people don’t miss a chance to create discussions about anything they like and do not like.

One fan on Twitter compared MJ’s vision with the current pollution, saying, “This is how Michael Jordan sees the world.”
