Nah, I can make the arguement pretty clearly that Jordan is the best ever. He has 6 titles as the main option of a team on top of having the highest scoring average in the history of the game. No one else really even has 4. He's basically the Wayne Gretzky of basketball (top scorer + many championships). 

Well Jordan barely edges out Chamberlain when it comes to highest scoring average but that is only due to the fact that Chamberlain had numerous injuries that slowed him down significantly towards the end of his career despite that he still has the most career rebounds and the highest rebond average.  

Lets be real, a young Jordan would average 50+ ppg against the small guards and no rim protection of the 60s. Dunks for days and days. 

David Robinson in the 60s would basically be Wilt. 

Like seriously watch this ...

Anyone seriously think this is the best basketball ever? Give me a break, dudes are blowing point blank lay ups, half the players can't dribble with both hands, there's enough bricks of simple weakly contested mid-range jumpers here to build a new arena, Bill "greatest player ever" Russell not even trying to play offence, etc. etc. etc.

Any player who could shoot 50% from mid-range would be like the best player on the court, lol. A modern player like Westbrook or Kobe would eat these guys alive.
