NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....

Lionel Messi has won five Ballons d'Or, the same number of NBA MVPs won by Michael Jordan. / FCB
The two superstars have been compared over and over using scores of subjective criteria, but now there's at least one thing that unites them — the number five

While it's tempting to try and compare Lionel Messi and Michael Jordan, it's no easy task.

There are lots of parallels that can be drawn between the two. When they were young they were both thought to be too small before undergoing surprising growth spurts in late adolescence. Their propensity for dominating the highlight reels has also been mentioned. Their in-game intensity, daily work ethic, and global ubiquity are a few more examples.

Now there's one more.

After Messi won his jaw-dropping fifth Ballon d'Or award on Monday, there were immediate calls to equate that feat with the five NBA MVP Awards that Jordan won with the Chicago Bulls throughout his illustrious career.

But while Jordan's five MVPs are tied for second all-time in the NBA with Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics, one ahead of Wilt Chaimberlain and the still-active LeBron James, and one behind the six won by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Messi's five Ballons d'Or are the most ever. And Messi has some breathing room, too.

In fact, in the history of football, only four other players have even won as many as three — Cristiano Ronaldo (2008, 2013 and 2014), Marco van Basten (1988, 1989 and 1992), Michel Platini (1983, 1984 and 1985) Johan Cruyff (1971, 1973, 1974).

The only question is, if Messi wins a sixth, who will they begin comparing him to then?

KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
