I gave my answer earlier but some people are claiming that Michael Jordan wasn't the best basketball player ever and that's an absolute joke. MJ is every bit as good at basketball as Gretzky or Pele were in their respective sports. No one is even close and any other answer is ridiculous. I'm old enough to have seen Kareem, Dr. J, Magic, Bird, and many others play and I'm telling you that Michael Jordan is unquestionably the greatest basketball player ever.

If you saw Kareem, Dr. J and Magic play, why in the world would you think jordon is better than them?  They are all much superior players.

If jordon was the best, why did they change the rules to help him?  You know, they changed the rules to slow down players like Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.


You must be from L.A.  That's the only logical explanation for this comment.

They changed the rules so the Detroit Pistons could do anything but pull out a gun and not be called for a foul in order to try and slow Jordan down.  They didn't change them to help him.  I don't know what games you were watching.

Definitely not from L.A. (thank goodness!).  They changed the 3-point line to make it closer to help jordon because of his crappy 3-point shooting record.  Then they changed the rules so you couldn't hand-check a player to help jordon because it suited his game.  Anyway, that would let the league legitimize fouls being called virtually every time jordon missed  shot or was otherwise breathed upon.  When even those extremes didn't work, the referees literally gave Chicago the championship against Utah.  That's when the NBA finally lost me as a fan, seeing as it's either rigged or a joke.

Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

Michael Jordon. Dude was freakin' god-like.


im not even a basketball fan and I completely agree

Meh, he's not even close to the best basketball player ever.

Pele is my choice as well, although Jim Thorpe is an excellent one.

you could say hes not the best, but not even close?

 

jordan?

 

how can you call yourself a fan.

You have no idea what you are talking about. The three point line was moved closer while Jordan was retired. Also, you must not have seen when Jordan went for a then record 6 for 6 from the three point line against Portland in the finals.

Beat me to it.

Also, he was a pretty good three point shooter, but he normally didn't do it because the Bulls had three point specialists like John Paxon, Steve Kerr, and Craig Hodges.  Basically, it wasn't his job. 

The refs gave the Bulls the title over Utah?  Which time?  Both?  LOL  One of Jordan's greatest games was against Utah in the finals.  Remember the time that he was hitting shots from everywhere on the floor when he had the flu or did you forget that?  The refs must have put a bigger rim on the side that Michael was shooting that game to cheat the Jazz.  *smacks head*
