Jordan
JORDAN WAS A GREAT PLAYER. THERE WERE ALOT OF PLAYERS THAT WERE AS GREAT. RUSSELL A GREAT REBOUNDER AND SHOT BLOCKER. WILT AVE 50.4 PTS A GM FOR A SEASON AND OVER 20 REBOUNDS A GAME THE SAME SEASON. OSCAR ROBERTSON A TRIPLE DOUBLE THE WHOLE SEASON. JORDAN NEVER DID ANY OF THESE THINGS. HOWEVER BACK WHEN THESE PLAYERS PLAYED CARRYING OR PALMING THE BALL WAS CALLED WHEN DID JORDAN OR ANY PLAYER TODAY GET CALLED FOR THAT? NOT TO MENTION TRAVELING.BOTTOM LINE THE NBA WAS IN TROUBLE ,JORDAN CAME IN AT A GREAT TIME. HE WAS GREAT FOR THE LEAUGE. WAS HE THE BEST NOT HARDLEY.MATCH HIS TEAM UP AGAINST THE CELTICS THAT WON 8 IN A ROW. HE WOULD HAVE HAD TROUBLE IN THE LANE WITH RUSSELL. OR THE KNICKS WITH REED. I MYSELF THINK WILT IS THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER.
