In the greatest games section, they should've included the 69-point, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block game against the playoff team Cavs. That was way better than Kobe's 81-point, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block game against the 27-win Raptors.

JUST CALL HIM MR BASKETBALL PERIOD!!!!!!!

@oldmanwithers1 Exactly, MJ didn't just ballhog in regulation. He got his teammates involved but also dominated b/c it was a very close game. Same with his 63-point playoff performance against the Celtics.

@jp3813 I agree, but wasnt that an overtime game?

Do any body know the name of the song at the 5:23 mark of this video?

He was the reason that I began to play and many more I believe.

The Mohamed Ali of Basketball His Royal Airness MICHAEL JORDAN.

And hate when they compare Kobe to His Royal Airness...

@jp3813 U can say that again. People have no clue of the level his game was at. The blocks, steals, assist & rebounds + his ability to guard the other teams star player while putting on a clinic. Dudes insanely on another level.

So Danny Ainge played against MJ as a Celtic in the 63 point game, played as a Trail Blazer in 1992 and experienced the Game 1 barrage, and then finally witnessed with the Suns the following year when Jordan set a finals record by averaging 41 points a game en route to the Bulls winning their first 3-peat. He probably developed the same "Michael Jordan complex" that the Cavs had lol

@dynnxxhanagi14 It's not even about just giving up the ball. MJ's rebounding and defense are miles ahead of Kobe. BTW, weare8112 clearly said "modern NBA era". Steals and blocks weren't recorded during most of Wilt's career.
