you have a point there bro..

 

i`ve read this book entitled "The Biographical History of Basketball" and in one chapter, "The Greatest Player in History", there is this myth called the "Jordan Supremacy Myth" which according to legitimate basketball historians (of which there are shamefully few), has been nurtured from the start by the constant drone of public relations geniuses, product pitchmen and media "talking heads" (of which there are many) :

 

 

- there is the issue of a print and video media that has constructed a full-fledged industry around the hyping of MJ, including the NBA itself.

 

- even more telling is the seemingly ceaseless propaganda blitz mounted by a Nike sporting goods company campaign designed to generate billions of dollars in corporate sales. Michael`s rank as the greatest basketball player, the greatest pure athlete, the greatest everything imaginable, has all been a necessary element in the corporate success of Nike and several dozen other high-profile companies that ride precariously on the coattails of Air Jordan`s legend.

 

in fact, the chapter describes MJ as "Michael Jordan--Most Popular Player on Madison Avenue"..

"There is Michael and there is the rest of Us". :thumbsupsmiley:...Basketball Greats, Coaches, Analysts, and even current Superstars...Wade, LeBron, Kobe, Melo, Dwight, AI...etc etc...etc...all agree...

 

so if someone here still wants to contradict the FACT...seek medical attention... :thumbsupsmiley:

So for the rest of us unfortunate enough not to have read the book, please enlighten us on which player was considered the greatest ever. Thanks.

Parents will hate you for this. It's the same as telling their kids to stop reading books as its just nonsense.

Welcome to the Basketball Hall of Fame, Michael! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Your spot has already been long-reserved for you since the first Bulls three-peat! To get another three-peat highlighted by 72 wins in one season is truly amazing! The Greatest! The Greatest! :thumbsupsmiley:

i think micheal is a complete package which he develop himself to be that great player.

 

when he started he can already dribble the ball , between the legs and take the jumpshots. he can drive the floor and go with the left or right hand to finish. what i admire about the guy is the point of wanting to be better, he became a better defender. i do believe some may say his weakness is his shooting but looking at it its the quality of the shots his taking on the perimeter. so he tried to learn when to shoot aisde from that he hired a PT to help him get better form and release on his jump shots for better efficiency

actually, i`m not buying the chapter about MJ hook, line and sinker bro..

 

talagang mapapaisip ang makakabasa nito as to who should be considered as the greatest basketball player in history..

 

to answer your query, the author(s) have stated that The Big O., Oscar Robertson is more worthy than MJ to be called the best ever..

Thanks dude!

 

Interesting choice on the Big O but i think he lacks in the winnability department.

yup, i have to agree with you on that..

 

in terms of skill and talent, however, the Big O can hold his own against MJ.. although Air Jordan is the better defender between the two..

I agree. Basketball is a team game. So winning championships really count.
