You do realize he played in the golden era of centers? He wasn't just taller than everyone. He played against bill Russel and Kareem. Two others in the mix for greatest of all time. This isn't the Kareem that played till he couldn't even go down the court on some offensive possessions.

Having a 3 or line would've helped wilt by creating more spacing.

How is Jordan more well rounded? The only thing he could do better is shoot from the perimeter and dribble. Everything else is in wilts favor.

Scottie pippen is a top 50 all time player. Jordan didn't win anything until pippen arrived. And even then required high level power forwards before they were championship quality.

I'm not taking anything away from Jordan. But he just isn't the greatest ever

You are not looking at the stats at all apparently.
 
Comparing Jordan to Lebron is one thing but comparing him to Wilt is the most apples to oranges debate I can imagine as far as basketball players. Different positions, different eras, different teams. It’s impossible to know how either would have fared in the other’s shoes.

I can comfortably say that Jordan is the best I’ve seen in my opinion. But to unequivocally put one guy at the #1 spot and say “your differing opinion is wrong” is just silly and arbitrary.


My opinion is overall Jordan is the GOAT but I agree with you that it's hard to compare across generations or also to say anyone elses opinion is wrong is silly. They are all great players and the best of their era. I don't know why we can't just leave it at that.
