Nope that will never happen
Jordan is possibly the most valuable player ever to the game of basketball. Not only did he dominate the game but he also changed the way the world went about marketing with athletes of all sports. BEcause of him the NBA changed the way games were televised. Without Jordan there would be no NBATV or contracts with TNT. He is and forever will be the greatst player ever.
Why does everybody keep saying jordan had great supporting teammates? He didn't, He had Pippen, and Grant thats it. We were looking at some the Bulls championship teams here in Chicago and he had some bums. Sure his last 3 years he Had Kukoc and Rodman but does anybody remember Scott Williams, Luc Longley, Bill Cartwright, Craig Hodges, Jud Buschler, Jon Paxson, Steve KErr, JO JO English, Scott Burell, Stacy King, Will Purdue? If you aren't from here (Chicago) or didn't grow up loving the Bulls you can probably identify 3 of those guys at most. The teams weren't very good at all (individually) but when they worked as a unit they had good chemistry, because none of them could create a shot except for MJ and PIP. So unless you really watched these teams stop saying MJ had a great squad or supporting group around him please. HE HAD PIP.

The question of all basketball questions Michael Jordan VS Magic Johnson. Well me personally I'm not one of those people who see Jordan as well above everybody else in basketball history however I think Michael Jordan is the best basketball player of all time with Magic Johnson a close second.

There will always be someone better eventually. Wilt Chamberlain, Magic, Bird, Isiah, the list goes on. There will always be BETTER players but I don't think there will ever be GREAT players like that group of All-Stars. MJ was the greatest and the difference between the stars of the past and today's stars is the PASSION AND EXCITEMENT that we used to see, before money became an issue. Like Jordan once said "Players are getting paid based on potential (what they're expected to do) rather than what they've already done." Yes there will be a better player than Mike, as far as scoring, but to do what he's done and win 6 titles and still play like he's got something to prove...that's priceless! He gave you something to talk about the next day. Plus, he played on both ends, offense and defense.

Each generation has a player that raises the bar higher than it was before so naturally there will come a player who is better than Jordan. Before Jordan, there was Magic, before Magic there was Doc, so therefore history shows that eventually someone will come that is better than Jordan. What ppl need to do is stop trying to make every young guard in the leage the next Jordan and let them be themselves and eventaully they may be better than even the legendary MJ. I'm not saying it will happen soon but eventually it will happen

Yes, and that somebody is already in the NBA. You are equating MJ's talent to Titles. He didn't win a title until his fifth year in the league and didn't even win with the Wizards. What you are really referring too is will there ever be a another situation where a team was able to bring together a group of players and coach to co-exist with arguably one the greatest players of all time. In todays salary cap and free agency probably not.

Lebron James will if he already hasn't. I mean he took the Cavaliers and took them all the way to the finals. Sure Jordan went more times than he has. But Jordan has some great supporting casts. That's something that Lebron definitely does not have.

There will be one day when Micheal Jordan shall be forgotten, and a new star will arise.
