Michael Jordan was great.
Not the greatest, there are two others who go ahead of him.
Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West. MJ himself has said that if he and Jerry were in the same era, he thinks Jerry would've been the better player.
Wilt, let's just say his stats speak for himself. Different positions, yes, but overall, Wilt takes it by a mile as the best player ever.
However, Jordan is definitly Top 3 of all time, and MJ was the greatest player in the 90s. There was always good competition in the 90s too, teamwise. Hakeem and the Rockets, Admiral and the Spurs, Ewing and the Knicks, Payton and Kemp and their Sonics, etc.
But in this contest, MJ rapes Bird. Jordan made all his teammates better, a rare ability, was able to drop 30 on you on any given night, and was more then just a one-dimensional highlight reel.
Jordan's a great player. Just not the greatest.
