Jordan is the greatest offensive player to have ever graced this game, period. He won 6 championships with the bulls. The first three-peat came between 1991 and 1993 following which Jordan retired to pursue a career in baseball, which in short was disastrous. He returned to the NBA in 1995 and joined his fellow teammate Scottie Pippen. Together, they achieved yet another three-peat from 1996-98.

He played an incredible role in popularising the game and was part of the 1992 and 1996 dream teams.

Jordan played two forgettable seasons for the Washington Wizards. Forgettable? Maybe by his standards. In fact, he averaged 20+ PPG during both those seasons.

This protegé of Phil Jackson was probably the main reason why the game of basketball even reached countries like ours.
