NBA All-Star game: 5 All-time greatest scorers

Modified Nov 08, 2022 11:35 GMT

#3 Michael Jordan

To this day Michael Jordan is still considered the greatest basketball player ever. He led the Chicago Bulls to a pair of three-peat NBA titles from 1991-1993 and 1996-1998. In addition to his 6 NBA titles, Jordan was the Finals MVP all six times his team won it. He was also a 5 time NBA MVP and a 10 time NBA scoring champion. He also claimed the rookie of the year award in 1985

If he had not taken a year and a half off from the game, after the 1993 title, its possible Jordan would have led the Bulls to 8 consecutive titles. This would have been the ultimate record as LeBron James has a streak of 8 consecutive NBA Finals appearances including the 2018 NBA final. However, James has only been a member of the winning team 3 times.

While the Lakers hold a special place in my heart as of 1995 my home town Raptors are my team.

Cooking, reading, writing, and movies are enjoyable for me but sports is my passion. I can talk sports all day every day if possible.
