Michael Jordan is the best already. Maybe I would say the 2nd is... Kobe Bryant. 81 points in one game baby!
Michael Jordan is the best all-time. He dominated when he was in the league. LeBron is more of his own player than Kobe and he is still the most dominant. Kobe has just copied everything from Jordan all the way to his tongue out and his fist pumps. Poser.
Jordan is the original! lets be honest all 3 of these players are incredible so its hard to have a decision so firmly but I'm taking Jordan cause it comes down to him never loosing a series in the finals!!! Has that beast mode to take control of the court to make sure he's gonna get that ring!!
whoa, who didn't copy Jordan growing up? if you didn't youre not an NBA fan. Kobes just the only dude to pass up Jordan in destroying all his stats. top 3 complete players to play in the NBA include jerry west, wilt Chamberlin, or Magic Johnson. Magics career ended early but I'd say he is kinda like the JFK of the NBA don't follow the hype
You should not compare Michael (Oh yeah, we're close) to any other player. He is the GOAT. Period. The question is, who should be number 2? You should include the likes of Bill Russell (has 9 rings) and Oscar Robertson (averaged a triple double in a season) in the choices. Lebron is more powerful and bigger than Jordan, but Jordan has will power and mental toughness. I remember a line from Jordan to Max documentary, "He's the type of man that can get you to jump off a bridge or at least think about for a few seconds. He has such a will to accomplish a mission that everyone follows him." - Walter Iooos, Jr. I think this is what separates Jordan from the other top players.
It has to be Michael Jordan. I grow him watch him play on TV and it was nothing like him then and even now and I doubt that we will see a better basketball player in many years to come. He was simply out of this world.
Of course the number one spot will be forever for MJ, you heard? Who comes second le bron was just born the other day. I think Magic Johnson is the bitter rival to Mj .full stop, in short, the two MJ's rocked!
MJ of course. He is 52 but I bet if he is in shape give him 10-15 min a game today he still score in double figures.
