It seems hard to keep this man out of the discussion when it comes to being best at a particular aspect of basketball. Be it offense or defense, Mike placed equal priority over both as he believed that a person is only as strong as his or her weakest link.

One of the many aspects that His Airness excelled at was being able to fly, and that very ability gave him the upper hand when rising up against an opponent, like, literally the upper hand or how else would you block a shot?

Jordan went absolute beast for the 1986-87 and 1987-88 seasons when he posted 125 and 131 blocks respectively for the seasons while averaging 1.5 and 1.6 BPG for the same.

One of the main reasons why Jordan was so great at everything was because he never backed down from anything, ever. Jordan always tried to be consistent with his block shots which were impressive throughout his career and that is why he has the highest number of blocks as a guard at 893 and a career average of 0.8 BPG. This crazy high number is not going anywhere far from the number one spot, at least for now.
