How great was Michael Jordan as an INDIVIDUAL player?golf ,nba teams

G.O.A.T. Period. And what does Kobe sucking have to do with Jordan being the greatest.
Michael Jordon is the best that ever played the game,period.Kobe will never be MJ.
I am not sure about the best ever but in his time is defiantely the top. I would suggest that Magic is there or even further back is Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt is most likely the best player to ever play so far.
I am a HUGE Kobe fan( (look at my name), and I wouldn't say that he sucks, because he's easily one of the greatesest players of all time, a sure-fire Hall of Famer. However, even the greatness of KB24 pales in comparison with the picturesque career of Michael Jordan. His Airness will NEVER be matched by anybody (though many do come tantalizingly close)!!!

P.S. in Jordan's career game (69 pts, 18 rbs vs. Cavs), he had 7 assists, not 6 as you listed.
Amazing. He took the impossible and made it possible!
look dude, if ur a Kobe hater, u dont hav 2 pile jordan's factsheet here on Yahoo! Answers. you are exaggurating it now. jordan was a ture player %26amp; kobe is a good player so u cant compare
Yes MJ is the greatest without a doubt.
Not as great as Kobe.

ask this question as many times as u want. the best answer will always be the same.
people say that mj is set apart from any bball player that ever lived because he only could take over games. i could technically have periods when he went 1-on-5. amongst all that...he was also amazing at playing team ball and setting up top notch plays. so stating the obvious, of course mj is the best individual player....as well as team player...to ever walk the earth.
.
good
KING, you dont know have to post MJ's achievements on yahoo answers everyday. Man get a job or a girlfriend. Who am I kidding, no1 would hire you and no girl would go out with you.
And all this time I thought King was the greatest Jordan fan. It looks like Ms Rodriguez takes the cake on this one. King and Ms Rodriguez should get together so you 2 can breed a whole generation of MJ loving / Kobe hating kids. That would be an interesting scenario. hahaha
Michael Jordan is and ALWAYS will be the BEST player to ever play the game! I wouldn't say Kobe sucks he's no Michael Jordan, but who is?! There is only one Micheal Jordan!! I think Kobe is one of the best players in the NBA today though.
why do u always pile stats up??? we already knew this before...MJ IS basketball...so y keep writing it??? just out of curiosity??? n y do u bash everyone else??? not enuff breastmilk i think
