People who know about basketball know that Jordan was really overhyped by too many people, majorly the NBA, ain't saying he wasn't amazing, because he is one of the GOAT's no doubt (hard or impossible to say who's the best) but he was the one that started all the superstar treatment. When people talk about basketball without even knowing nothing about and always say "yeah Jordan is the best ever, high above everyone else" always crack me up. Or talking about the 96 Bulls being able to sweep anyone just because of their best record when the league was in expansion and watered down. MJ was my idol (on the court only now) but I gotta say he was/is majorly overrated... even that flu game was and still is like the best thing ever when many other players played on that level in worse situations.

It's the media, like you said, nobody can deny that Jordan was amazing but it's kinda pathetic how people that know nothing about basketball just automatically assume Jordan's the best ever, nobody to blame but the media (and the NBA who made Jordan invincible).

I saw Jordan play extensively; he's the best I've ever seen, and I started watching in the late 80's. No one since is on his level. As for before that, its a tough call. A lot of shit is subjective, but intangibles, opinions, and MEDIA and ADVERTISING INFLUENCE aside, his 6 titles, 6 MVP's, career PPG, and numerous other accolades is all that is needed. None of that shit has to do with marketing or media.

NIK: I guess Kobe playing with Shaq really held Kobe back. This would explain why, despite playing a few more games overall than Jordan, Kobe is
1000 STEALS,
1000 REBOUNDS
600 ASSISTS
300 BLOCKS
(Don't make me mention points, or any playoff stats. It's not fair)
behind Jordan.
over 200 more turnovers too. Must all be because of playing with Shaq. Or the media. Or advertising. Or the refs. No hyperbole, opinion, or any explanation needed. Jordan was on some next shit. If you guys only remember watching him on the Wizards, or even in his last few years with the Bulls, then you don't get it. Yes, dude was a fucking asshole. Most of these guys are.

Shaq at it again!!! The media!!! Nike and Gatorade!!!

The Kobe one missing 3 Chips, but you get the point. He's a long way away, and yet, has played more games. I'm only using Kobe as a comparison cuz he's the guy most brought up to be as good as MJ. And normally, its his scoring, yet in his best year, he only went for 35 (and shot a worse percentage than MJ when he went for 37).
Fact is, there is nothing, no evidence at all, to suggest anyone in the last 30 years is better than Michael Jordan. People can have opinions, fine, but lets stick with facts. Championships, MVP's, scoring titles, etc. Best overall career for a ball player ever- most individual success since Wilt, and most team success since Russell.
