    Yes he won 6 champions. Yes he was great in his prime. But the reason why Jordan is the greatest is because if his last two years with the Washington Wizards. Go back and look at a highlight of those years and you will know why. He was old but still a Top 10 player in the league.

    Michael Jordan is the greatest for a variety of reasons. First, I don't recall anyone with the ability to guard him. Even with two defenders Michael Jordan could still score more than thirty points a game. Secondly, he made basketball a more popular sport because of his athletic skill and his ability to set trends. I know people personally that stop watching basketball when Michael Jordan retired.

    Evidently you did not watch NBA back during the Detroit Pistons Bad Boys era. Dennis Rodman and Joe Dumars would guard this man very well. This was called The Jordan Rules which worked well. This was also a reason why the rest of the Chicago Bulls team mates had to step their game up. This was when Scotty Pippen started to realize that he had to become a better player.

    Joe Dumars and Dennis Rodman would keep Jordan to under 20 points when he averaged 35 points per game. This is when the Detroit Pistons were NBA champs. Shane, I have been watching the NBA since the late 1970s when Magic Johnson came to town and saw Dr. J retire when Philadelphia won the NBA title.

    And Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest NBA player of all time. I never saw Jordan ever score 100 points or even lead in rebounds or assists. And there are other players who have more than Jordan's 6 rings.

    Michael Jordan's stats will speak for itself. Seven consecutive scoring titles, 6x NBA Champion, 6x Finals MVP, 10x Scoring Champion, 1x Defensive Player of the Year, 3x steals leader - the accolades go on and on. And to think he played in an era when hand checks are allowed. Imagine how he will dominate today's game. His greatness isn't confined on the basketball court either, I mean he globalized the game and made the NBA a household brand. He started the sneaker culture being the first shoe endorser to bring a relatively unknown brand, Nike, into a byword in sports circles. And today, he is the first sportsperson to break the billion dollar mark. I don't think anyone who played near as great as MJ achieved so much.

    The rings and championships are one thing. But I think to unserstand what made him so great was knowing his work ethic. I think that Michael Jordan to basketball was like Jerry Rice to football. In my opinion, what made these guys so great was thier dedication to hard work off the field/court. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that all pro atheletes work hard. But it is my understanding that these guys' work ethic during the offseason was second to none, which translated to championships during thier respected seasons. I believe that is what made Jordan such a great basketball player.

    Hi Gary!

    Miсhеаl Jоrdаn wаs а physiсаlly giftеd, drivеn bаskеtbаll plаyеr. Hе wаs dеdiсаtеd tо his сrаft, аnd wоrkеd hаrd аt it.
    I think whаt mаdе him nоt just grеаt, but trаnsсеndеnt, wаs thаt hе wаs а physiсаl mismаtсh. Hе саmе intо а lеаguе nоt rеаdy fоr him. Thеrе wеrе just, quitе simply, nоt mаny guаrds аt thе timе whо shаrеd his physiсаl gifts. This mеаnt thаt hе wаs diffiсult tо mаtсh up with - hе blеw by big but slоwеr fоrwаrds, аnd shоt оvеr thе tоp оf quiсk but smаllеr guаrds.

    His uniquе physiсаl tооls аlsо аllоwеd him tо plаy in а uniquе wаy - in thе аir, аbоvе thе rim, оr hоwеvеr yоu wаnt tо dеsсribе it. This wаs sо diffеrеnt, аnd sо nеw, thаt thе NBА аnd соасhеs simply did nоt hаvе thе guys tо mаtсh up with him. Thеrе will nеvеr bе аnоthеr Jоrdаn bесаusе by nоw thе NBА is fillеd with guys whо аrе quitе similаr tо Jоrdаn Kоbе Bryаnt bеing thе primе еxаmplе.
