my vote is Wilt over Jordan. when their stats are compared side by side they are close but wilt just pulls ahead. wilt holds 50 records in the NBA (the most by a player)!!

one startling record: Wilt holds the record for the most games with 50+ points at 118 games in his career. (Michael Jordan is 2nd with 29 games.)

edit: wilt accomplished his records before the 3 point shot was introduced among other handicaps

You make a good argument, and it's pretty tough to vote against a guy who scored 100 points in a game. Seriously now, he himself scored more than many teams do. However, I think Wilt's success was more due to his incredible size/strength advantage. The league at the time simply couldn't counter him so it was like a grown man playing against children.

When MJ played the league was very competitive, the most competitive it's ever been in my opinion. Jordan overcame this and still kicked ass, in spite of being 6'6" and 220 lbs. And no one was better at making the shot when he had to than Michael. These are a few reasons why MJ is the right choice.

Modern era, Jordan, no question.

But I'm surprised Oscar Robertson isn't on the list.

Dude averaged a triple double for an entire season.

He was like 28/12/12 or some crazy [censored] like that.

If you're talking best all-around game, you can't ignore that.

Jordan by a mile. Kareem should probably be replaced by Oscar Robertson and/or Bill Russell.

Giving up 100 points to a center is an awful defensive job. Wilt ruled, but back then double teaming was seen as a bad idea. Fouling Wilt 50 times a game would've also worked. Against defensive minded coaches of today he would've put up numbers similar to Shaq in his prime.

I actually had robertson on the list originally but i knew overwhelmingly people would pick jordan because theyve seen him play and not favor more contemporary players.

This post makes no sense at all. If you were keeping people off the poll b/c you thought everyone would pick Jordan then why even have other options?? Oscar Robinson should have been clearly been on the list. Hence you too are a Polltard!

Also how is Shaq not on the list? His presence on both ends of the court is unmatched by anyone on this list. I still take Jordan, but he still deserves a mention.
