I'm not saying Kobe isn't great, but for the past two days Jordan's been on some strange crusade against LeBron James.

Strangely enough I think MJ was a better "team" player than LeBron James. Now since I rarely watch basketball I'm really not qualified to say on that. During the days Michael Jordan played BB was still an exciting sport for non fans to watch.
Its not that anymore, I get bored quickly with todays game that is mostly about individual play and alley oop passes.

Jordan for his career averaged 5.3 assists a game, and Lebron averages 6.9 a game for his career. Both their best years in assists came though were 8 a game, LeBron edged him out though by .6 though, Jordans being in the '88-'89 season, James' being in '09-'10.
All I know is, if you were to build the ideal basketball player for me it'd be LBJ. If LBJ ever had the personality of MJ though? The NBA would have the greatest athlete of all time.
I do agree with the sentiment though, that if I needed one player for one game, I'm taking Jordan.

He was probably the most dominating player to ever play the game, and if he cared more, its insane to imagine what he would've done. He was always compared to Bill Russell, and they duked it out, a lot. But I think Wilt took some pride in not letting winning or losing completely define him, he had other things in life he chose to do. Bill Russell would puke before games and just be utterly relentless and singleminded, much like Jordan and Larry Bird.
Oscar is often forgotten in the "greatest ever" discussion, and I think its because he was such an angry prick and a horrible teammate. Just an absolutely unbelievable player.

Angry is just about right. I think MJ, Bird, Oscar, Russell, would have ran over their Grandmother during crunch time. lol

He got one just a few years back with Pau.
