5 most dominant NBA players of all time

#3: Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan

Resume: 6 X NBA Champion, 5 X NBA MVP, 6 X NBA Finals MVP, 14 X NBA All-Star, 10 X All-NBA First Team, 1 X All-NBA Second Team

Arguably the greatest of all time. With the only guard on the list, it is a testament to the greatness of the one simply known as MJ.

His brilliance on both ends of the court has never been matched. Going 6 for 6 in the NBA Finals with 6 Finals MVP made Michael Jordan truly unstoppable on the hardwood floor.

He is also only one of two players to have accumulated more than 3000 points in a season, which he did in the 1986-87 season when he averaged 37.1 points per game. His offensive mastery often leads people to forget about his defensive brilliance.

A 9-time member of the All-Defensive First Team, 3-time steals leader and the recipient of the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award in 1988, Michael Jordan could lay claim to being the greatest all-around player of all time too.

His averages for the NBA Finals read as 33.6 points, 6.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds. All we can do is look at those numbers and shrug.

There may never be another Michael Jordan. In this lifetime or another.
