Why Michael Jordan is the greatest ever

Well for starters, he has five Most Valuable Player awards. Six NBA Championships. Six Finals MVP awards. 14-time All Star. 10 Scoring Titles. Career averages of 30.1 PPG, 6.2 RPG, and 5.3 APG. Just based on these statistics and accomplishments, most people would be convinced that if Michael Jordan wasn't the greatest basketball player of all time, at least he'd be a close second. But it's not just numbers that make Jordan so special. Number 23 has been immortalized in sports circles everywhere because of his incredible love and passion for the game of basketball. In his seventh season in the NBA, Jordan finally won his first championship, averaging over 30 points per game during the playoffs. The Bulls repeated as champions the following season, and the season after that with Jordan leading the team in almost every statistical category, and leading the league in points scored each year. After taking a season off to try his hand at professional baseball, Jordan came back to the game more intelligent and mature. He didn't miss a beat, leading the Bulls to back-to-back-to-back titles in '96, '97, and '98 while providing incredible displays of athleticism, and talent along the way. Because Jordan did all of that is why he is considered the best player of all time, at least in my opinion.
