There are a few players (not many) who were better than Jordan... Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and probably Oscar Robertson.\n\nAn earlier post pointed out that Jordan won six championships... big deal... Russell won 11 (in only a 13 year career, lost in the finals one year and the Eastern Finals another year).  Russell also won 5 MVP awards (while competing directly with Wilt, who won four), so Jordan's got nothing on him there...\n\nJordan's big strength was his ability to score...but he's way behind Jabbar's scoring totals, Jabbar also won six championships, and Jabbar also won SIX MVP awards, more than any player in history.\n\nChamberlain, of course, still holds a ton of records that MJ never even got to look at...100 pts in a game, a 50.4 ppg scoring average in a season (Wilt holds, I believe, the top 4 single season scoring averages in history, and is the only player to ever average 40 PPG, which he did twice, including his 50 ppg season, having averaged 44.8 ppg a season later.\n\nJordan's scoring average is 5/100ths of a point higher than Chamberlain's (Jordan is 30.11, Wilt is 30.06)... \n\n\n\nPeople talk about what a great team player Jordan was, but he took 1,040 more shots in his career than Chamberlain did, despite the fact that Jordan played 6,846 FEWER MINUTES (the equivalent of 142 FEWER 48 minute games)!!!\n\nYeah, KOBE'S a ball hog...\n\n(Jordan was not nearly as durable an athlete as Wilt, who averaged 45.8  minutes/game over his career, and is the only player to average MORE than 48 min/game during a season - because he sat out only 6 minutes the entire season, but played many more minutes of overtime. Gee, I wonder if Zydrunas Ilgauskas will ever match THAT...\n\nWilt was also the greatest rebounder of all time, with Russell right behind him.  There have been twenty four 40 rebound games in NBA history, Wilt had 14 such games, Russell 8... Jerry Lucas and Nate Thurmond had the other two. Wilt holds the record with 55 reboounds in a game (against Russell)...Russell himself grabbed 51 rebounds in one game...\n\nWilt was the only player who was able to completely dominate a game with his scoring, rebounding and defense, all at the same time...Jordan could only dominate offensively (which is certainly not a bad thing).\n\nJordan was a very good defender as well, but a guard really can't 'dominate' a game defensively the way a center can (not M.J.'s fault, just the nature of the game). When I say "dominate a game defensively", I'm talking about shutting down the middle and not letting anyone NEAR the hoop... that was Wilt...and Russell...and for a while, Kareem...\n\nUnless you want to have a three point contest, Wilt would dominate Jordan in every category, even passing, as Jordan never led the league in assists (Chamberlain is the only non-guard ever to lead the NBA in assists during a season).\n\nScoring is supposed to be Jordan's specialty... Chamberlain has been retired for 33 years, and STILL has more 60 point games than everyone else in the history of the NBA COMBINED.. Wilt had 32 sixty point games, compared to a whopping 4 for M.J. There have been ABOUT 57 60 pt games in history, not sure of the exact count...\n\nJordan's career scoring average is marginally higher than Wilt's because (1) Jordan shot a hell of a lot more and (2) Jordan made sure he "retired" (for good this time) just before his scoring average fell below Wilt's. Plus, M.J. could hit his free throws on those "rare" occasions that they put him at the line...  hee hee\n\nSo, the answer to "who is the best nba player of all time" is Wilt Chamberlain.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Wilt Chamberlain or Kareem Abdul Jabbar.  Those guys could play . . but i'm going to have to go with Michael Jordan.  He dominated the sport, tried his hand at baseball THEN came back and dominated again!  Just think of the career stats he would've had if he played straight through . . wow.\n\nHonourable mention to Robertson, Chamberlain, Kareem, Magic, Russell . . .\n\n*ALSO - according to espn.com (they have a Top 10 Point Guards in History of NBA list) Robertson averaged a triple double during his first 5 seasons*

Currently it is without a doubt Kobe Bryant he can dominate a game by himself.  He scored 18 points in the 4th quarter in today's game against the Hornets.  Also, 81 points is still unbelievable.\nOf all time it is Michael Jordan.\nThe best dunker is Vince Carter.

At this point, Michael Jordan is the best player basketball has ever seen.  He was a consistent scorer, a crowd pleaser and incredible in the clutch...\n\nNo one has even matched that...

1. MJ; obviously\n2. Stilt; maybe the best rebounder/scorer of all time\n3. Big O; produced the best all-around season ever by averaging a triple-double\n4. Bill Russell; "11 rings; 10 fingers"\n5. Kareem Abdull-Jabar; the sky-hook and they outlawed dunking when he was college because he was so dominate.

Jason Kidd by far. If Iverson didn't just happened to the NBA he would be dead or flipping burgers. AI is one of the biggest punks and useless idiots of the world.

Truth is, there are about 8 players in NBA history who have a legitimate argument to be called the best (or most dominant) player of all time...\n\nThey are:\n\n1) Wilt Chamberlain\n2) Bill Russell\n3) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar\n4) Larry Bird\n5) Magic Johnson\n6) Oscar Robertson\n7) Michael Jordan\n8) Shaquille O'Neal\n\nTim Duncan probably comes the closest to matching the skill level of these guys, in terms of fundamentals...but Duncan does not have a claim to be called the best ever...\n\nWilt was really the most dominant player ever (on BOTH ends of the court), and his basketball skills far exceeded those of Shaquille O'Neal. Although Jordan's strong suit is his scoring, his scoring feats really pale in comparison with Wilt.\n\nRussell led his team to 11 NBA titles in his 13 year career. Were Jordan around back then, he'd be just another guy who lost to the Celtic machine.\n\nJordan and Shaq are the only players on the above list who had the luxury of playing against what amounts to 'high school' players. The level of competition and overall skill levels of todays players is not as good as during, for example, the 1980s. But players today are adjusting to the way the NBA wants the game played. Traveling is never called, nor is 'palming' the ball (probably no one under 25 today even knows what 'palming the ball' even means...)\n\nThe All Defensive teams were not selected until after the 1969 season, so Wilt only made that team 3 or 4 times, but would have made it more often had there been such a thing in the '60s. So the idea that Jordan is the greatest defender ever because of his All Defensive number of selections is not well-founded.\n\nIf anyone thinks that todays players are more highly skilled than players of the 60s 70s and 80s, we need only look as far as the U.S. recent international performances, or lack thereof. Teams from Europe are beating our NBA "All Star" teams on a regular basis the last few years, because they (the Europeans) are still playing the game the way the U.S. played it in the 60s and 70s, when the U.S. truly dominated the world in basketball. They have taken the way we taught them the game and are now using that style against us. The U.S. international teams have been pathetic during the 21st century.\n\nMcGrady is not even close to being the best player of all time... there's no argument that one can make to place him anywhere near the company of the guys on this list. Being able to dunk doesn't make you the greatest player of all time.  If you think T-Mac is one of the two greatest players ever, you obviously haven't watched very much basketball.

Magic Johnson.  I sat a few rows up for one of his games and still could not figure out how he did it.  He would be looking in the opposite direction when he threw a perfect pass.\n\nWilt and Magic were great.  But when Magic played, everyone else on his team looked great too.
