Sporcle | How many American sports teams can you name? 

I think Michael Jordan is the most famous US athlete, he's an absolute legend of the NBA and his brand is worldwide nowadays so everyone know who he is

I'm not sure there's a true universal answer. Each sport has it's own claim: Baseball: Babe Ruth Football: Tom Brady Basketball: Michael Jordan Hockey: Wayne Gretzky Boxing: Muhammad Ali Golf: Tiger Woods Nascar: Dale Earnhardt

Wow that’s impressive! Great knowledge

105/123 Points for me, love these play alongs vids!

Michael Jordan 100% Put the NBA on the global stage and built his brand exceptionally well

LeBron, Kobe and Michael Jordan are maybe the Sportsman with the biggest impact, not only in sports, Even to the whole society.

Can't look further than Michael Jordan. I got a respectable 101.

Cool as always ❗️

also, some of those “one-town” teams also have mls sides ! (utah has the jazz and rsl, for example)

Definitely a generational question but MJ has to be the near universal answer

I see a lot of people saying by Michael Jordan. Whilst I’m inclined to agree. Tiger woods is a good shout also.

You not getting the Jazz hurts man 😂 That’s the only team we got. Really impressive though GG

Wow that was really good

Well done mate

Most famous must be Either Tom Brady or Michael Jordan...

I only got 73 but I don’t watch baseball and barely ever watch basketball. Should of got all the nhl though I did get the jazz though 👀😆

Michael Jordan, for sure

Michael Jordan, has to be!

Michael Jordan or Michael Phelps or Muhammad Ali

Micheal Jordan or Tom Brady

Zero, is my answer.

shame mls wasn’t included in this

Michael Jordan 100%

I'm Canadian, but up here, the most popular athlete would probably be Wayne Gretzky. Maurice Richard, if you live in Québec
