Is Michael Jordan the greatest basketball player of all time?
“You’ll get some arguments from people who support Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain or Oscar Robertson, but in my opinion, Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time. MJ was so competitive. He had a refuse-to-lose attitude. It didn’t matter if it was basketball or checkers or cards, he had an undeniable desire to win games. He came to work everyday. He didn’t use his superstar status to skip practice. MJ was always at practice. For someone like myself, I couldn’t call in sick with a toe injury. If Michael Jordan could get pounded on every night and then come to practice to run sprints and go through a full practice the next day, guys like myself and B.J. Armstrong couldn’t think about missing practice. He had tremendous talent, but he was ultra competitive and had a great work ethic.
