Everyone says Jordan, it seems, when I ask this question.
But it seems to me that it's sort of like how some kids say that The Matrix, was the greatest movie of all-time. It's just because they haven't seen anything different.
So, I want to know from people who actually have seen more of the NBA than the last ten years. Who's the greatest?
It seems like there are some worthy contenders:
Wilt Chamberlain, with his insane ability to score (and also, he got a lot of points in basketball, too). Oh yeah, he once led the league in assists, too
Oscar Robertson. The man *averaged* a triple-double one year... !?
Bill Russell. He takes San Francisco(!!) to two NCAA Championships. Wins 11 NBA titles. Wins Olympic Gold. Coaches the Celtics to 2 more titles. The man is a winner.
There must be others, too. Jordan was great, sure, but he had to wait till the Celtics & Lakers were past their primes to win; (and he also needed Jackson to put together a team). Jordan was overrated.
