Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4495631, member: 405"] He leads in these categories by small margins - 6 to 5 in titles, 6 to 5 in MVPs, etc. Babe Ruth hit 54 home runs in 1920 and the next most in either league was 19. The next year Ruth hit 59, and the next most was 24. Michael Jordan was a great player in a line of great players. Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Kareem, Magic, Bird, Kobe Bryant, Hakeem Olajwan or Seth Curry are all right in the ball park with him, too. Jordan's "greatness" wasn't achieved until the players who were better than him got too old to maintain that level. [/QUOTE]
