It was rare for great scorers to be great defenders. Jordan played both sides of the ball well. He was one of the best in making game-winning shots. He was an accurate shooter, great passer and could handle the ball. I don’t know if I can say that about any player I’ve seen other than Jordan. I had to stop and watch if he was playing on tv. At times it seemed like Jordan defied the laws of gravity. For starters, he is the most amazing player I’ve ever seen. There are many reasons why I believe Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player I’ve ever seen. It’s an example of how the championship argument is flawed. Does anyone think he’s a better player? Of course not. Robert Horry has more championships than Michael Jordan. Championships are misleading because playing on a team loaded with talent doesn’t make you great.
Then you get the championships argument, which like the statistical argument, people hang their hats on. Baseball fans would disagree, but the stats tell part of the story.
