Magic Johnson was a great player but Michael Jordan was the best

If you ask NBA players who they'd rather have as a teammate, they will tell you, in order:\n\n1) Magic\n2) Bird\n3) Jordan\n\nJordan was a great, great player, but the hype by the likes of ESPN is greater than anything MJ ever actually accomplished on the court.

I think your question is incomplete.\n\nAnyway, Jordan, Magic and Shaq are the other three.

Right now?, Lebron.  I don't think MJ can move as fast anymore.\nMJ in his prime vs Lebron right now?, MJ.  He didn't just carry his team, he made everyone better.\nMJ in his prime vs Lebron in his prime? To be determined.

The Charlotte Bobcats took him with the 3rd pick. Michael Jordan really likes Morrison's ability to score and his work ethic. If I were Morrison, I would be glad to be part of an organization with M.J. in it.

There has been many good point guards over the years, but the best ever, in my humble opinion, is Magic Johnson.  He revolutionized the position by proving that someone 6-9 could do more than just rebound.  His totally unselfish play led the Lakers to the promised land several times.  John Stockton owns the record for most assists, but I give Magic the edge because of the championships.

Aside from Larry Bird (the greatest player of all time), I would go with either Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, or Bill Russell.\n\n\nSorry folks, Michael Jordan isn't even close to being #2

Jordan with any of the second teir stars is the best.  He is the one player who could not be stopped in the clutch.  His defense was simply awesome and his leadership equal to Larry and Magic.

MJ is better and had more endorsements.  In today's NBA, endorsement is part of your success.

First to the guy above me - Magic Johnson was inducted into the Hall of Fame four years ago.\n\nMichael Jordan is undoubtedly the best player of the past 30 years, and possibly of all time.  Considering that he's not yet inducted, then I'd have to say that he's the most deserving player not currently enshrined.\n\nThere are plenty of others who are deserving and who will get there, but there are no players as good as MJ who are still waiting to get in.

You have to be kidding me. LeBron may have records that MJ didn't get this young, but c'mon, MJ was and still is the best player in NBA history.\n\nAnd also, you can't really compare someone that is done playing for his career. Now If you compare MJ in his 3rd season to LeBron right now, then YES LeBron is better. But LeBron's career has pretty much just started. We'll have to wait until LeBron James retires from the NBA to be able to compare him to MJ.

Jordan brought class, style, skill, and a new level of respect to the NBA. There was no one like him. There will be no one like him. Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan. The one and only...

james and johnson. kobe is a ball hugger theres no chance he can beat james and jonhson alone. as for jordan, he is arguable the greatest basketball player who ever lived, but with the ball on kobe, he's just another spectator.

Well, right now LeBron James is the best in the NBA. But, the best player ever is the one and only MJ. But I wouldn't be surprised to see LBJ pass Jordan up.\n\nI LOVE BASKETBALL TOO!
