NBA Legend Michael Jordan grabbed the “Greatest of all Time (G.O.A.T.)” title after coming atop of Bleacher Report’s survey asking who is the greatest NBA player of all time.
The survey was done on the sports media’s writers, editors, analysts, and NBA experts, providing a diverse outlook in the debate.
During his 15-year NBA career, Jordan averaged a high 30.1 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 5.3 APG, 2.3 SPG, 49.7 FG%, 32.7 3PT%, winning 5 MVP titles and leading the Chicago Bulls to 6 championship titles while getting 6 Finals MVP at the same time.
He was also a 14x All-Star and was selected on the All-NBA team 11x during his 15-year career.
Meanwhile, LeBron James was declared as the 2nd greatest along with some arguments, stating that he should be the G.O.A.T.
During his 22 long years and counting career, he recorded a 27.0 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 7.4 APG, 1.5 SPG, 50.6 FG%, 34.9 3PT% average.
He also won 4 championships with 3 different teams, with each championship equivalent to him winning the Finals MVP.
In his 22 year career, he also bagged 21 All-Star and All-NBA selections, with his rookie year being the last time he was not selected to be an All-Star and an All-NBA.
Meanwhile, NBA Fans were shocked after the fan favorite Kobe Bryant failed to enter the top 10, being ranked top 11 in the list.
The Top 10 in the list includes Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Bill Russell, Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain and Stephen Curry. | via Florence Alfonso
