Quoted: Not one person in this thread has mentioned Hakeem on their list MJ is number 1 to answer OPs question. View Quote 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. |

Quoted: 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. View Quote Michael said Kobe was the only guy who could beat him 1 on 1. Kobe adopted MJ's game. |

Not one mention of Tim Duncan?
easily top 5. Plus he likes guns. That makes him number 1 in my book. |

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?? |

#1 hands down. Greatest competitor. Greatest scorer. In the conversation for greatest perimeter defender. Transcended the game like no other player.

Quoted: He's number two behind Lebron. View Quote Attached File 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.

I grew up in the 90s. I don't like the man, but Michael Jordan is the greatest ball player of all time, never to be eclipsed.

#1 and not close. LBJ and that gen ruined the NBA. I haven't watched it in 20 years.

I would have said the best, but I’ve canceled him since he’s an open racist.
He had some quotes in the Charlotte observer. |

Easily in the top 5 for greatest athletes of all time, anyone who disagrees is a total dipshit.

The best. No question about it. Could have done 10 championships in a row if a piece of shit didnt kill his dad and another piece of shit didnt lose his mind and dismantle a team that just won 3 championships in a row.

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. |
