Is Michael Jordan really the best player of all time?

[CeoTypeDoe619]

Greatest of course because that takes achievements into count. But best player is a whole another story.
Hypothetically speaking, If there was a draft with all the all-time greats and Gm's knew exactly how all their careers would pan out to how they really did. Who would be the number 1 draft pick? Shaq? Kareem? Jordan? Wilt? I have a hard time believing any GM would pick Jordan over these guys to start a franchise

You're having a hard time believing that a GM would pick a guy who won 6 championships, 5 MVPs, 6 Final MVPs, etc etc etc., who dominated the NBA like few ever have, and who many acknowledge as the GOAT, as the first pick in a draft of all players in NBA history? I could see a few GMs picking other people, but to have a hard time even considering that a lot of GMs would pick him?

So yeah.

anyone who says he's not is insane.

He's the best player of all time, but I understand how a young person who never saw him play could be confused by the fact. How can a person truly understand something that they've never been exposed to? The major difference in Jordan and let say someone who's dominating like Lebron now is Jordan's mentality. His mind. And I hated Jordan growing up because I'm Knicks fan, but can't denied that he's GOAT.

Their opinions doesn't matter, but if you ask most fans who watched the NBA since the 80s they would pick Jordan, heck if you ask most NBA players who saw him play they would pick Jordan, including Kobe.

That guy wants to BE Jordan. Nuff' said.
