Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time

I will execute this round by rebutting my opponent's points one by one.Wilt Dominated Because He Was TallMy opponent has claimed that Wilt Chamberlain dominated because he was tall. While height is certainly an advantage, the point must be brought up that it really wasn't back then. Let's look at other 7 footers who Chamberlain played against. Swede Halbrook, who was actually taller than Wilt at 7'3, shot .360 percent with 6.3 points per game and 6.2 rebound per game in '61-'62, stats so poor that he didn't last more than 2 NBA seasons. Walter Dukes, who was 7 ft, shot .396 the same year, with 9.4 points per game and 10.4 rebounds. These figures are obviously no where near Chamberlain's stats, disproving my opponent's claims that he dominated due to height. The fact was that Wilt Chamberlain was simply more skilled than the other players.Wilt Was A Ball HogMy opponent claimed that only 8 assists per game was not impressive because Wilt Chamberlain played the entire game. However, what my opponent seems to overlook is that Wilt Chamberlain was a CENTER! It was not his job to pass to ball, so stating that 8 assists per game is not impressive is simply preposterous. Now let's look at the most minutes per game in recent years. Monta Ellis average just over 41 points a game in '09-'10. Now of course, Monta Ellis is a point guard, who's job is to distribute the ball, so surely playing all but 7 minutes of the game, he averaged more than Wilt Chamberlain's 8 assists? Wrong. Ins 41 minutes, Monta Ellis averaged only 5.4 assists per game, as a point guard! Trying to discredit Wilt for his minutes per game is unfounded. In actuality, the fact that he played so long as a center is simply amazing! Wilt's Scoring Went Down As His Career Went OnIt is true that during the end of his career, Wilt's shots per game went down as his scoring went up. But I would like to point out how his team benefited from this. During the 1966 year, Wilt was actually asked to focus on defense by his coach Alex Harnum. This is because the Sixers had players like Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham (future Hall of Famers) who could now score in place of Wilt, and he didn't have to carry the load as much. This is why Wilt's scoring went down. The Sixers began this season 46-4 and finished 68-13. This same season Wilt still won MVP as his rebounding and assists improved! This is not a strike against Wilt, but a testament to his greatness! He sacrificed his own scoring for the benefit of the team. Frankly speaking, Wilt showed that he did not have to score 30 points a game to dominate. The same can not be said for Michael Jordan! So after striking down my opponent's points, let's re-evaluate the facts. Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain have virtually the same points per game average over their careers. However, it must be noted that Wilt Chamberlain played less games than Michael Jordan and also shot a higher percentage! Simply put, he was a better scoring than Jordan and has four seasons where he averaged more than Jordan's best season. Additionally, he was the best rebounder ever in the NBA, would have shattered every blocking record had there been blocks recorded in his team, has the record for most assists by a center, and the list goes on! Additionally. Wilt Chamberlain is the only player in the Hall of Fame to have never fouled out of a game![1] Michael Jordan was simply not as dominant or great of a player as Wilt Chamberlain. 72 NBA records is a feat no one will ever get close to, including Jordan. Frankly speaking Jordan has no case against Wilt. His stats are not comparable overall. Now while my opponent may argue that comparing stats like rebounding and blocks is not fair because of the difference in positions, but I'll say this. If this were true, then we shouldn't be able to compare assists between a guard and a center. But we can! Because Wilt played an all-around game while Jordan did not. I ask the voters, how can the "greatest" only be "great" at scoring? Wilt was great because he was all-around great, and holds a record in EVERY statistical category! With this evidence brought forward, I ask for voters to dismiss the motion.[1]http://www.nba.com...
