Well, the thing that made Jordan great was not his skills. Yes he was a great player (possibly one of the top two along with Wilt Chamberlain), he was a complete player. He could do everything excellently. He scored 30 points per game, grabbed over 5 boards, 3-4 assits, 2-3 steals, and even one season averaged a block per game. He was an all-around excellent player. There are other players even in his era who had just as many skills and were just as talented with natural ability. Scottie Pippen I think had more natural potential as was more graceful. Certainly Dominique Wlikens was more powerful.\n\nThe thing that made Jordan great was his intelligence and his primacy; his ability to get up for a game and take it to the next level. He thrived on pressure. He could get into another players head and totally shut them down from the inside out. When the game was on the line he took the game to another emotional level that had so much stress and pressure to it that every other opposing player was crushed by it and all his teammates fed off of it. \n\nJordan's natural talent was limited. He wasn't even picked for his high school team the first time around. Lebron only went to high school. He is not mentally the same player as Jordan, and he never will be.

I have to agree with GISMCIERI.  Each decade has its player-of-all-time, but it's pretty hard to argue against Jordan.

Michael Jordan for sure........look at his stats they speak for themselves. Yeah Magic and those guys were great but not as dominant as Jordan....he was the type of player that would grab the game by the scruff of the neck and make it his own.  Just look at the Bulls record when he retired the first time....he had a good support cast but he was the greatest.....and he won 6 championships with that support cast.........magic had all-stars all around him.... so of course he was going to look good.

The Michael Jordan answer shows how desparate people are to try to make Michael the greatest player ever, NO MATTER WHAT QUESTION IS BEING ASKED... \n\nThe question was "who's the top scorer in the NBA in the eighties"... \n\nThe answer is NOT Michael Jordan. The question wasn't "who was the leading scorer from 1986-1989?"  What part of "the eighties" didn't you understand?\n\nJulius Erving was pretty much through as a player by 1985, although he did play a couple of more years after that...\n\nMagic wasn't a prolific scorer for most of the 80s, because Kareem was still the Laker's # 1 option on offense until 1987... Magic took over and averaged about 23 points per game, but that was his highest scoring average up to that point in time, and he'd only averaged 17 PPG in 1986.\n\nMost points scored 1980-1989\n\n1. Alex English 21,018\n2. Moses Malone 19,082\n3. Adrian Dantley 18,157\n4. Larry Bird  17,899\n5. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 16,246 \n\nThe answer to the question is Hall of Famer Alex English.\n\nIn addition to being the 5th leading scorer of the 80s, Kareem was also the leading scorer in the 1970s, with 22,141 points in that decade.  Elvin Hayes was 2nd in the 70s with "only" 18,922 points.\n\nMichael Jordan was 29th in scoring during the 80s, with 11,263 points.

Lebron. Wayne is a good player, but he turns the ball over too much and doesn't pass enough. Jordan was overrated. He didn't win a single play off until the Bulls signed Scotty Pippen. Jordan always played with a good supporting cast. Cartwright, B.J Armstrong, Pippen. He was washed up in the last ten years of his career, but the officials bailed him out every time he drove to the basket. The clincher was when he ran down and punched Reggie Miller for an inadvertent elbow that Miller threw. Come on Miller is a wimp. He wouldn't hurt anyone intentionally. He's a sissy with no muscle, but Miller got thrown out of the game for Jordan assaulting him.  The NBA later reversed the call and suspended Jordan a few games, but this just shows how biased the officiating is for the coronation of Sir Michael.

1\nwhen it comes to numbers (scoring and rebounding) chamberlain is king. when it comes to being all-around, oscar robertson is at the top, even averaging a triple double for one season. \nstill, most people including me consider jordan the greatest of them all because he was a combination of talent, skill, desire, success, fortitude and timing. \ntalent and skill-scoring title, mvp trophies, all-star status, defensive player of the year.\ndesire-competitive streak, the willpower to tilt the game outcome to his team's side. takes every game seriously. \nsuccess-three-peat not accomplished by modern greats bird, magic, hakeem. doing it twice just stresses the point. \ntiming-storybook career: jumpshot to win an ncaa title. being beaten by everyone before finally succeeding after a 7 year struggle. \n\n2\ngiven time, some of the new stars today will almost reach the pinnacle of jordan's popularity and success. but IMO, no one will. he was everything at once. kobe will always lack the charisma. iverson will never be a three-peat winner nor become a defensive player of the year. lebron does not have the killer instinct and will YET. sorry, but carmelo is just not on the same league as kobe, james and wade. \n\n3\nyes, he would have won with another set of players. if his sidekick was not pippen, then he would have had another super partner. people will compensates                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 \n\nif he did not have grant, then he had rodman. if he did not have paxson, he had kerr and kukoc. he and whoever his teammates then would learn how to compensate.

Michael Jordan is "listed" as 6 feet 6 inches tall, however, NBA players typically list their height WITH their shoes on.  I have a friend that served as security for Michael Jordan, and Michael Jordan WITHOUT shoes is just a hair over 6 feet 5 inches.
