+144 Its annoying how everybody assumes Michael Jordan is the best basketball player ever, when people like Bill Russel, Wilt Chamberlain, and Kareem-Abdul Jabar have significantly better records, amirite?

Jordan really modernized how basketball was played. He's been heard of more because marketing techniques have changed. I'm sure you've heard of Air Jordan's. He's more recent so not too many of his fans have died. Not too many people were around for the reign of Chamberlain.
