"How many French League title did he win while playing for Cannes or Bordeaux? How many Serie A titles did he win while playing for Juventus? How many La Liga titles did he win in Spain while playing for Real Madrid? How many Champions League titles did he win while playing for these clubs? "
Why don't you tell me?
I am not going to equate a French League title or Serie A with the NBA title, not even a conference title.
I may be prepared to compare The European Champions league with the NBA title..if I am feeling charitable that is.
How many Champions League titles did Zidane win again?
"How many times did he receive World Player of the Year?"
MJ won the NBA finals MVP SIX times, that is World's Player of the year for you.
Zidane hasn't won World's Player of the Year six times.
"Soccer in the Olypics doesn't allow players like Zidane to play"
They do.
Just go ask Ronaldo, who was in the Brazilian team when Nigeria beat Brazil to capture the Olympic gold.
"He seemed to be playing at a higher level than Jordan at his last retirement"
MJ won two NBA's's after he came back, and SIX NBA rings altogether.
Again, how many Champions league titles has Zidane won?

As I said, I am not going to convince you but you are showing your lack of knowledge about other sports. The NBA title is NOT the world title. It the US championship. Our basketball teams have been an embarassment lately on the international stage. Why wouldn't the Serie A or the La Liga titles be the same as our NBA title. "The 1992 Barcelona Games proved to be the turning point in the Olympic soccer tournament, when the men's tournament was competed as an under-23 event for the first time." Would Jordan be able to play if these rules were followed in Olypic basketball. Each coach is allowed to add 3 overage players to the roster. Most clubs don't like their high priced players playing in these competition because the risk of injury. It would be a great idea for basketball to try the Champions League format. Baseball did it this year in the preseaseon. Not all the best players were there but the US lost that as well. We need to take international competition more serious. Most Cup titles are competitions between club teams from different countries and you have to be in the top of your league even to be invited.
