Michael Jordan has been compared in every way possible. At this point, there is no angle left to give the Chicago Bulls icon his credits. However, a former Washington Wizards star decided to use comedian Katt Williams to give the 6x NBA champion his flowers. The latest episode of 3x All-Star Gilbert Arenas and Shannon Sharpe’s Nightcap is all about His Airness.

Arenas and Sharpe were sharing as much as they could to prove why Jordan is the greatest of all time. To give an example of the impact he had on basketball, Arenas decided to bring Williams into the conversation. He said, “You know what Michael Jordan is? Everybody understanding now. Michael Jordan is to basketball is what Kat Williams did on your channel.” 

A month ago, the 52-year-old comedian joined Sharpe for an episode that was almost three hours long. He revealed a lot of unknown secrets and news about Hollywood in a hilarious manner. It was the talk on the internet for quite some time. However, most importantly, Sharpe’s video with Williams got a staggering 60 million views on YouTube.

Arenas continued, “He[Williams] did it in a style, clever, charisma, funny, gave you the drama. He gave you such a big overall package that the field can’t keep up…And that’s who the Michael Jordan was to the world.” 

Well, that’s an interesting observation from the 3x All-Star. Who knew Williams was in line to get compared to Jordan? Sharpe also agreed to this comparison by Arenas. However, in this episode, the ultimate honor is circled back to the Bulls legend only.

Sharpe is the happy man at the end of the day. His video is moving above 60 million views. He should also be grateful to Williams for hopping in at the right time. It’s no surprise that the video has got all the attention after all the name-calling in the three hours.

What was the MJ-type impact that Katt Williams brought to the podcast?

The Emmy Award winner was furious about a few comedians from Hollywood. Kevin Hart, Cedric The Entertainer, Steve Harvey, P. Diddy, etc. who are big names in the industry right now, were blatantly called out by Williams. It was mostly personal grievances, but the highlight was that he called most of them for copying his jokes, especially Cedric.

He also called out Harvey for plagiarism and termed Kevin Hart as an industry “plant” in the three-hour episode. Well, all this created an impact that got the attention of every nook and corner. Isn’t that what MJ did in the NBA?
