The team was built around him so he could score. He didn't have to rebound. And he missed more shots than he made. As far as career statistics, Larry Bird is better in almost every statistical category except scoring. Jordan isn't even the best basketball player of all time. Wilt Chamberlain not only had the same scoring average despite switching his game to defense late in his career, in his prime scored 30 points and got 20 rebounds a game. He also led the league in assists one year. This discussion is simple for me: Clone five Wilts and five Michaels, let them play, and Michael doesn't win a game.

He played in four decades. His achieved his best scoring in seasons that the NHL defensive categories were at the top. When injuries affected the Wings, he moved to defense and excelled. The majority of his achievements came before expansion watered down the game. In the twilight of his career, Orr did not dominate him face to face. Not to mention that he played dirty in a skillful and graceful manner far better than anyone who ever laced them up.<br>That Gordie is known as Mr. Hockey is not without foundation. It appears that someone suffers from "ESPN syndrome"; i.e., nothing significant happened before 1979. Gordie Howe is not considered as most dominant in hockey? He played in four decades.

Sure that makes me ignorant of Cricket, but I'd venture to guess that 99% of the people in the United States couldn't tell you who the fuck Donald Bradman is. Doesn't mean he wasn't dominate, but certainly explains his omission from a list on a U.S. based site.
