NBAs greatest players No 1 - Michael Jordan

 


Jordan is the only player with at Least 5 in each category. That separates him from everyone else.


One Caveat - George Mikan won 5 championships, 5 conference titles and was first team All-NBA   6 times.


He was probably the finals MVP in each  of his championships (5). He would have easily won the league MVP in 1949,1950, 1951.


For MVP, In 1952 it was him (23.8/13.5) against Paul Arizin (25.4/11.3), Mikan team had a better record


In 1953 it was him (20.6/14.4) against Neil Johnson (22.3/13.9), Mikan team had  the best record in the league and Johnston team had the worst. So I think we would have won it here.
