Another Michael Jordan? Don’t Bet On It
I recently took to my Twitter account, @RealKigerPlews learn about it, to post about an interview that Jonnie Motomochi and myself were doing with an Oregon State baseball player when I saw a picture that really caught my eye (see below).

The picture sums up just how great Michael Jordan really was, and how less and less recognition he is getting for it.
All I hear from people now-a-days is who most closely resemble Jordan, Kobe or LeBron. Now to be fair LeBron and Kobe are two of the greatest players that the game has ever seen, but they are no Jordan.
Jordan is the undisputed king of basketball, but to understand just how great, and why Kobe, LeBron and all others aren’t even in the same class as him you need to dig a little deeper.
Jordan won 6 NBA titles, the 10th most of all-time by a player, Bill Russell has 11. Jordan won 5 MVP awards during his career, second to only Kareem Abdul-Jabar’s 6. He is one of only four players in the history of the NBA to win both the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year Award during their career. MJ is also the only player in NBA history to win NBA Finals MVP six times!
This is just a small sample, but it accurately shows just how special Jordan was and how he will, in all likely hood, never be surpassed as the greatest player in NBA history.
