A few things you missed for Jordan in those 15 years.
- Career Scoring Average: 30.1 points per game (highest in NBA history)
- Playoff Scoring Average: 33.4 points per game (highest in NBA history)
- Fastest player to get to 32k points, and did so with over 100 games shorter than 2nd place.
- You mentioned he's a 14 time allstar (would be 15, but broke his foot in the middle of a season, so EVERY YEAR was selected as an all-star)
- Rookie of the year
- 10 time scoring champion
- Named as #1 in every NBA and writing's top 100 players.
- #1 on NBA top 75 players (Defeated 34 of the players on that very list)
- Also it was 11 ALL NBA selection (10 1st team, 1 2nd)
- Naismith memorial basketball hall of fame
- 3x allstar MVP (Tied for second all time)
I wanted to keep it to 'things that existed during his old ass time'.
So yeah... Jordan is better. And from the looks of it, like I said, it's not close. Now like I said there's no 'moving the damn goal post'. It's literally what I was already saying. Now find something wrong with this too, somehow, instead of just admitting it.
Yeah, moving the goalposts. And have been this entire time, since now you're using criteria other than statistical accolades (I didn't know NBA writers choice was an award, wow).
But since you're juicing stats to add to Jordans...
- Russell didn't win Rookie of the Year, because he was playing for the US in the Olympics (and winning his gold medal), so we'll count that for him too.
- Same for why he didn't go 13/13 on All Star selections. He missed his rookie year because he was playing for the US in the Olympics and only played in 48 games. So well say the same for Russell.
- I already mentioned the Hall of Fame for both, and Russell is a 2x HoF. Jordan ain't getting in again for being an owner, that's for sure.
- Cant use fastest to 32K point because you discount that same argument for LeBron getting to 40k. Gotta be consistent.
-Russell also has an all star game MVP. I personally don't think an all-star game counts for much of anything, but hey this is your shitty argument...
-Averaged 22.5 rebounds per game
-Averaged 24.5 rebounds per game in the playoffs.
So you discount 5 more championships because Jordan simply scored more and some dork writers agree he's #1. And then you claim it's "not even close." Except it is by every statistical definition and category. Like I said earlier.
So, find a problem with that instead of admitting that your original premise was flawed and incomplete, and era needs to be factored in as well :)
