    How many times has someone asked you, “Who is the greatest (insert name and topic here)?” You give your answer and then are bombarded by why you are wrong. We’ve all been there. It’s the way of the world. It’s a fun question to answer and leads to great debates. It’s a conversation starter. Truly, there is no wrong answer to the question. It’s all ...

    Calling Michael Jordan the greatestangers some misguided basketball fans. Mainly because they can’t separate their personal feelings from Jordan’s game. Jordan rubbed people the wrong way. He was and is extremely confident in his abilities. He wasn’t humble enough for people. People should not factor that in when discussing his talent. I think that...

    In the discussion of greatest of all time, statistics are often the first example used to prove one’s point. However, numbers can lie. Baseball fans might disagree, but stats only tell part of the story. Then you get the championships argument, which like the statistical argument, people hang their hats on. Championships are misleading because play...

    So what are his stats? We have to talk about that because it’s the basis of everyone’s argument. Jordan averaged 30 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game. Think about that for a second. The points per game are amazing, but he was a shooting guard and expected to score. How many shooting guards averaged 6 rebounds per game? No...

    So you are one of those people who view championships as the ultimate test of greatness. Even though we all know there are guys on championship teams that weren’t great. Steve Kerr, Craig Hodges, and John Paxson were all role players for the Bulls. All have multiple championships. None are considered great. Jordan has 6 NBA titles to go with his im...

    Jordan won the regular season MVP 5 times. It’s not the most, but it’s pretty high on the list. Kareem Abdul Jabbar won it 6 times. Bill Russell won it 5 times. Wilt Chamberlain won it 4 times. Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Moses Malone all attained it 3 times. Lebron James has been the MVP 4 times. It’s a high honor, but even the regular-season M...

    Let’s talk about the players often brought up against Jordan as the best ever. Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson, Julius (Dr. J) Irving, Bob Cousy, (Pistol) Pete Maravich, Isiah Thomas, Lebron James and Kobe Bryant to name a few. I’m sure I’ve left players off the list, but y...

    Magic and Bird fans love playing that Pippen card in the discussion. The Bulls were hot garbage before Michael Jordan got there. It's easy to forget that those Lakers and Celtics teams had stars before they got there. Magic and Bird put them over the top. Don’t forget Magic and Bird played on teams that were loaded. They both played with a ton of H...

    People often bring up Magic Johnson and Larry Bird as better players than Jordan. They played in the same era. Magic and Bird’s career were winding down as Jordan’s was taking off. They were clearly in their prime when Jordan showed up. Magic and Bird took the league by storm. Let me tell you, Jordan set the league on fire. Magic would tell anyone ...

    I like Lebron Jamesand think he’s a special player, but I don’t think he should be on this list yet. Lebron hasn’t always excelled in the biggest of games and that hurts his status to be considered the greatest. He often defers too much in late-game moments. Fans love to compare Jordan and Kobe. I hate that comparison. Kobe is a great player like L...
