  1. Jordan led the best team of all time
    Jordan's Chicago Bulls dominated in both the regular season and the playoffs throughout much of the 1990s, and the 1995-96 Bulls were the best team ever.
  2. Jordan is the consensus choice
    Basketball experts, including analysts, commentators, historians, coaches, and players, have overwhelmingly declared him the greatest of all time.
  3. Jordan had the highest peak
    No other player was as dominant as Jordan at his best. But are individual records and statistics enough to give him this status? According to different metrics used to assess the performance of players, Jordan seems to be one of the best players the NBA has ever seen.
