The Dr J dunk was half of what happened, He stole ball at half court , saved ball from going out of bounds , beat everyone to the ball then beat defenders down court and cuff dunked it. Cooper the best Laker defender was quick and he could not catch up. Jordan never even tried to cuff dunk. Dr J was the doctor of the funk dunk.

Easily Jordan. Gervin I'm not sure about but Wilt and Magic couldn't shoot far. Not sure about Dr. J. LeBron is a decent 3pt shooter and good mid range shooter but not as good as Jordan. In today's league Jordan would probably average 3 or four 3s a game at least. And mid range there's nobody better except Curry and maybe Durant.

Yep, the most underated basketball player of all time. 54 % plus , but he would rather score from post. He was handicapped too. One leg was 2 inches longer than the other, but don't feel sorry for him or he will score 40 points on you. Averaged 30 points or more ,5 seasons. I guess Jordan is only other player to do that. They list him at 6'5 , but he was more like 6'3 1/2 . Guy could score on inside by splitting defenders with a quick step. He was the guy you wanted for last shot. With head fakes and quick step , he could make Jordan look like he didn't know what he was doing. If you had an all time roster of 10, he should be on team.

Yeah okay lol. Don't get so caught up in numbers. You want guys who I think could have beat Jordan? Try Bias. Petrovic was good too. By the way James Harden has averaged 30 ppg the last 3 seasons. Just for reference.

1) Dr. J in his prime could have beaten Jordan
2) Jordan would have been too fragile to play in ABA, it was Hockey played with a basketball.
Jordan would have been on DL a lot.

1) Jordan's brother beat him up until he joined the Bulls. A lot of people could have or have beat Jordan. He's still the GOAT.

2) Maybe but I doubt it once he beefed up. For the record I doubt LeBron would be bullied either.

DL?

Can't do that in the 90s and 2000s. Look at Gilbert Arenas.

Define best.

Accuracy? That does not take into account difficult shots attempted.
Points per game? Does not take into account accuracy, attempts, or quality of opponents.

Taking everything into account, I have to disagree and go with MJ.

Lets be honest , Jordan was also given a lot of points , if he missed a foul was usually called and he got free throws. If on a break his team mates were required to let him dunk, more points.

Nope, I looked stats up and of these players he shot well below them. The media loved Jordan and it proves the media can make you or break you. The officials were told to go easy on Jordan, How many games did Jordan foul out of?

Probably at their peak, gervin. Although all these dudes are scorers, not shooters, except for Magic. Magic can’t shoot for shit.
