It's no secret that Michael Jordan is considered to be the greatest basketball player of all time. A 51-year-old basketball player who is still better than the majority of the NBA's players. His physical performance may not be what it once was, but he still has plenty of talent in his brain. As a result of his impact on basketball, Michael Jordan has become synonymous with the NBA. Nobody outside of the sports world can deny that Michael Jordan is well-known.
Even though some assume otherwise, Michael Jordan's career was not simple. "Jordan Rules" were employed by other teams to double and triple-team him.
Jordan led the league in scoring 10 of his fifteen seasons, and he led the company in steals three times. Only one other player has earned both the MVP and Defensive Player of the year awards in the same season, and that was Michael Jordan in 1996 when he won the MVP.
Players were not so physically well-trained when Michael Jordan was playing, and they indeed didn't have access to the data or the technology that LeBron James has.
It's the little things that make the difference between great and legendary players. To win close matches, you need to be able to hit clutch shots.
