I will always hold Jordan to a special place because he is what made me a fan of the sport. I'm sure Lebron and Kobe before him did the same to the next generation of kids. It's easy to have fans of different guys because of that emotional reaction they give you. I'm sure it's the same in other sports. I bet there are guys pissed when someone ranks Gretzky over Orr. It's about what you know and what made you a fan.
Wilt was apparently amazing. Yet I never saw him play. So I can't really comment. I saw some of Bird and Magic but they were older and didn't quite see them in their primes. And didn't follow when they were elite.
Lebron deserves no disrespect though. He is super awesome. As were Kobe, Shaq, Duncan or KG. I'm a super fan of Kyle Lowry but I'm sure a majority of NBA fans can't stand the guy or thinks he's overrated/sucks.
MJ, the basketball player, was an art form. It was ridiculous what he did on the court and was just jaw dropping. Half the time you knew he was going to do something incredible but when he did it, he still blew you away. There are guys still fans of Vince. MJ was 10x the player Vince was.. and just as jaw dropping. But he was also a winner, fierce competitor and everything you could ask for in a guy you enjoyed watching. MJ the human being was an asshole. But I'm not a friend of his nor do I know him personally so no big deal. Kyle Lowry is most likely an asshole too though but that won't stop me from being his fan.
