Who was the greatest basketball player

In your opinion that is. Not looking for a wikipedia or other definitive answer.

Michael Jordan would have to be, in my opinion...

Why?
Because as someone who is not a fan of basketball, I actually know who he is...so...that says a lot as far as I'm concerned

In my opinion..

Michael Jordan..I grew up around his games...
And plus when I was younger I was a huge fan of the Chicago Bulls..

I loved him through my elder brothers..they were the type into basketball when I was growing up...

He was my Idol...in my case
I would also say Magic Johnson too...I know there are other talented players...

But I know for sure my Brothers would love to answer this question...they tend to know the besties of all time ...
They would say their favourites being Julius Erving or Dr.J of New York nets...Willis Reed of New York Knicks and David Thompson of the N.C state Wolfpack ...

I tend to stick with Jordan...
The best Basketball player in all time in my opinion...I grew up with him

xD

Magic Jordan who else? Besides he's the only basketball player I knwo and therefore the best by default. But he shot some great stuff in 'Space Jam' as I recall.

Kobe is the best ever

Is that not a place in Japan friendo?

Past: magic Johnson
Present: Michael Jordan
Future:LeBron James

michael jordan is the best Kobe is my favirote player but nobody will ever be as good as MJ
