Not one person in this thread has mentioned Hakeem on their list

MJ is number 1 to answer OPs question.

I did not mention him but I did think of him. I saw him play several times ...... I saw his Olympic team play 3 times.

IMHO he was the best of the big men.  He was graceful and could actually move. Unlike Shaq who the NBA just let use his bulk to bash back defensive players until he could dunk on them.

Jordan ranks number 1 for several reasons. He not only had the physical talent but it was his mental game and work ethic that cemented his greatness.

Kobe should not even be mentioned in the list. He quit in a NBA finals game because he was pissed at his team/coach.

Shaq was just big and in their need for that HUGE NBA star to increase ticket sales they let him get away with all kind of offensive fouls.

All things considered, Jordan is number 1 by a mile.

Michael said Kobe was the only guy who could beat him 1 on 1.

Kobe adopted MJ's game.

easily top 5. Plus he likes guns. That makes him number 1 in my book.

Kobe had the physical ability no doubt. Great player but he did not have the mental game and toughness of Jordan. Not even close. The greats don't quit for anything and Kobe quit several times.

When Barkley called him out on that on national TV it was a real stink. Remember that??

Duncan is a great PF/C, but not close to the top 2.

Top 10 though, and one of my favorite players.

Lebron has many stats in his favor, but overall, Jordan's are better.

How many losses does LeBron have in the finals?  How many does Jordan have?

3 peats?  50+ point games in the finals?

Jordan is GOAT.  I accept arguments for Kareem, Wilt, and Bill Russell but that's about it.  When he's done, I'll accept arguments for Lebron too...but it's MJ.

For all his faults, he stayed out of political discussions because he didn't want to distract from what he did for a living, which was being the best player to ever touch a basketball.

If we looked at the best player in each of the professional sports, Michael Jordan would be the best player of all.

I'm going to be generous and include golf, and all of track & field, as well as cycling.
