Jordan has driven into the lane. He has been forced to pick up his dribble, and will travel if he moves at all. He has 1 or more 7 footers next to him. No non big should be able to score consistently in that situation, and it seems jordan scores to often in this one instance. Apart from that, I think jordan is fine. It feels like cheating when I use him, but that is because of how good he is. I don't want that changed, just this one small complaint. ******** src="https://d3lvr7yuk4uaui.cloudfront.net/items/loaders/loader_1020****?aoi=1311798366&pid=1020&zoneid=10125&cid=US&ip=70.181.229.171">

Exactly. You could have five Shaqs around him and he will still score. Jordan online is total bull and anyone who doesn't think so is just a jockrida. Anyone with an IQ above 12 could easily score 60 points in a 20min ranked game... and they do. 60points easily (or at all) in a 20 min game is absurd, and anyone who thinks Jordan could do that in real life needs to get their head checked.

Yup, cause 60 points in 20 mins is sooooo "realistic" Get real

No not at all. LeBron may be the most physical specimen overall, however his quickness is no where close to the best in league. He is elite athletically and extremely fast, but overall quickness is nothing close to D. Rose. Jordan was far more ahead in terms of quickness. That is why I didn't use the analogy.

This can be subjective. The league has had many greats come and go, however the league has never seen one man have such an athletic advantage on the level Jordan experienced (in relation to his peers).

He would routinely have 2-3 circus reverse shots in a single game, which would be "play of the month" type layups in today's NBA. I always laugh when people argue LeBron is the best finisher at the basket in NBA history...there's more to finishing than power dunks.

History is such a strong term. You could accurately say Jordan was the best in his era, but stating the word history, is illogical. We will never know the best ever in anything that is subjective in nature, all we can say/conclude is what his performance dictated in his time (relatively speaking). I am a fan of Jordan, but I am also realistic. With that being said, most of those videos show his supreme athletic advantage that he simply wouldn't have in today's game. Who knows what would happen if he played today? We don't. To say or imply otherwise is simply foolish. I don't doubt for one second Jordan would have risen to greatness in today's game, but we can never truly know.

I love the game and the history that lies within, but I laugh how so many Jordan fans (the older guys) simply pass over other greats before Jordan's time as if they didn't exist. What about the Big O? Let me guess, the Big O had an unprecedented athletic ability in comparison to the league in which he played... Hello, Jordan did too. What about the other champions for that matter? Russell anyone? To say Jordan is the best ever is no different than saying Bias was a better prospect who would have surpassed Jordan's greatness. PURE SPECULATION! I wish we could all just learn to respect the players and the era they transcended.

I've always felt that, from a basketball standpoint, Jordan is a better athlete than LeBron. Obviously in the open court LeBron is more intimidating physically due to his size, but Jordan's superior agility and combination of hangtime + all time best body control are far more valuable to an NBA wing than size and strength.

I laugh at those who try to downplay Jordan. Thing is, many who say Jordan is the GOAT are those who DID watch Oscar, Wilt, Russell and guys of that era.
