Ronaldo: NBA Star Could Double His Followers

Cristiano Ronaldo was told Michael Jordan would have “doubled” his social media following in today’s digital environment. Ronaldo has 648 million Instagram followers, making him the most followed. In 2024, his YouTube account reached 1 million followers and 73 million views, which helped him earn huge sponsorship and endorsement fees.

Even with Ronaldo’s great ratings, Chicago Bulls veteran Scottie Pippen believes Michael Jordan would have had a bigger viewership if social media had been there during his peak. In a recent PBD Podcast interview, Pippen boldly predicted that Jordan’s global influence would have grown deeper with social media. Ronaldo’s online presence is great, but Pippen’s comments show Jordan’s potential in the current day.
