Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever.

Wilt Chamberlain statically is better than Jordan. Give credit to the man when the credit is due. The man holds so many more NBA records than Jordan, not to mention he also holds several different team records. These records include Rebounds of all time which would go along with averages per game. Not to mention he holds the record for most points in one game 100. You want the reasoning yourself on just records alone? Check out my source: http://www.nba.com... As I quote from nba.com, "With 72 records (68 of which he holds by himself), Wilt Chamberlain dominates the NBA record book. And he's not just the top guy on the lists below. In several cases, he's No. 1, 2 and 3. It's hard to believe that there will ever be another player who can dominate as many statistical categories as the Big Dipper did." Wilt Chamberlain is believed to be the most dominant basketball players of all time. Jordan meres to be a brand these days. Jordan does however only hold one record in total along with team records with one team maybe two if he broke any with the Wizards his last year of play, average points per game. But to think about it, they both averaged 30.1 and Jordan only holds the record because of a few hundred more points, which is outstanding. Not many 7 footers ever even average 30 points a game let alone 50.4 while holding the record for most points in a game ever. Which is outstanding to even think about it because he is a center for one, and 250 lbs + during his NBA career. For a big man that is something difficult to do. To maintain a high level of career when there is so much torque and energy that a man of that size has to endure. Also Michael Jordan is a shooting guard which means that a center is so close to beating him at his own game, it was Jordan's job to score. A centers job requires some scoring but their size is mainly for rebounding and defense. He obviously dominated scoring and rebounding so far in all time. Not to mention holding the record for rebounds per game at 22.9. Dominating I think so. Before getting into my next point, Jordan wouldn't even of surpassed him in scoring if he didn't come out of retirement just to play 2 seasons with the Wizards, by this time Jordan was just a brand and nothing more. Also if were getting technical I know one argument would be the competition is higher and people back then wouldn't be able to do the same things as they do now. So with that in mind there are even more people saying LeBron James has surpassed Michael Jordan now. The rings are the difference maker those supposedly. It took Michael how long to lead the Bulls to get a championship? Exactly, that argument is thrown out the window especially for the fact both superstars had a good background team with also another superstar. Go back to Wilt, everything he has done in the NBA broken records and all has been pure domination of the NBA in his time. Also no one has dominated the NBA quite like Wilt Chamberlain. So in your observation, A mere simple just scorer and very talented Michael Jordan as the greatest basketball player of all time. Most dominate person that has ever stepped foot in the NBA. Who do you decide?
