#2 Michael Jordan - 620 games

Michael Jordan had a vertical of 46 inches

Arguably the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan set the standard for greatness in the NBA. The guard averaged 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists while shooting nearly 50% from the field. He along with Scottie Pippen led the Chicago Bulls to six championships which included two separate three-peats as they dominated the 90s.

MJ reached the milestone of 20,000 points in just 620 games and it was against the Milwaukee Bucks where he dropped 35 points on the night. Unfortunately, he did not win the MVP that season as he lost to Charles Barkley but went on to win the championship beating the Phoenix Suns in the finals.

Jordan won five MVPs, and six Finals MVPs during his career and ended his career with the Washington Wizards in 2003. His high-flying dunks, flashy passes and elite mentality made him a global icon that inspired millions across the globe.
