@deathpoolthet1000: : How could you say a guy is the best ever in a sport hat has so many great players,
You can say he is the best ever because nobody has dominated the game like MJ has he can do it all,defend,rebound,pass,steal,take the clutch basket I can keep going on and on about why MJ has a claim for the G.O.A.T and is the G.O.A.T.
not only that, even when the NBA did everything to help Jordan to be as big as they can make him,
Every superstar gets special treatment from the NBA,not just MJ.
The only criteria that puts Jordan #1 is endorsements, media hype and popularity.
I disagree.
Many go to he numbers, but like i have said about LeBron Fails, the numbers just show a part of the picture, many player in the numbers look amazing, but they fail at the killer factor and never live to the full potential.
This is really not relevant to Jordan because he never had a problem being a killer,Jordan is the Hannibal Lecter of the NBA.
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson at their prime would had problems to beat Jordan,but would had beat him
They only problem I have went Magic and Bird is they are not very good defensive players Jordan is one of the best defenders ever and that gives him a edge over these two.Not to mention Bird only had 10 Great years under his belt do to injuries and Magic had his career cut short due to H.I.V. ultimately that hurt both of there G.O.A.T cases.Not to mention Magic played with better players then MJ did and so did Larry
so does Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson.
Wilt is nothing but a stat padder that cared about nothing but stats and his image while Big O was a horrible teammate.Add that to the fact that the era they played in was the weakest in NBA history,with guys 6 "8" playing center and the black guys could not even get in the NBA because of racism and that is where the problem is what there G.O.A.T. cases.
1994 and 1995: Jordanless Bulls still kicked ass,
But in the end they won nothing.
then Jordan gets back and gets his ass kicked,
Fair enough.
then Rodman gets in the Bulls and they win, not only that Jordanless Bulls had a better season that when Jordan was back..
That and the fact Jordan took of some years and probably still was rusty.
Without Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant, Jordan wasnt the great player people belive he was
How many players in NBA history won by themselves?This case with in it self is flawed I never said Jordan won by himself.....Nobody has.
the first 3 years with the Bull he was in the loser team, then the other guys enter and the Bulls became so huge.
You would be losing if Orlando Wooldridge is one of your best guys on your team.And again everyone needs help,no one in the history of the NBA has done it by themselves.
You can make a case for other players as the G.O.A.T I never said you could not but all and all I would take Jordan over the rest.
