^^^This is just lunacy. Let me show you how disingenuous your post is if you use these asinine things to disqualify Jordan:

Tiger fell waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off after the stuff with his wife and the injuries. And he's still playing.

Floyd dodged a lot of the better fighters of his generation during their prime and cherry picked wack fights to finish his career.

Russell played in the infancy of the league, probably didn't play against the best players in the world considering bigotry wouldn't allow for a league with the demographic makeup it has now and played for a Celtics team that just stack talent so he never had to fully carry a team.

Jordan dropped 63 on Bird's Celtics, in the playoffs, in Boston, after missing 80% of the season with a broken ankle and Bird called him "God" at 23 yrs of age. And it was Bird he said the league was Jordan's after his first ring. Bird knew...saw it early and late. Bird knew if Jordan existed in the NBA in 1979 and went to a team like LA instead of Chicago, the 80's might have been a looooooooooooot different.

Bird? lmao
