Early in Jordans career he would establish himself as one of the most recognizeable athletes in all of sports and eventually one of the most recognizeable men in the world. Some try to argue Jordans legacy was more owed to his marketability than to his actual abilities on the court.

Michael Jordan is also recognized by all basketball savants as the greatest of all time. Anyone arguing otherwise is a homer for another player. When you look at the facts, nobody is even close to Jordan status. Not even close. (cdbleb3)No one approaches Jordan's number of Finals MVPs. The legend that Jordan was so dominant that he lost MVP awards because of it is true. The league voters tired of giving the award to the same player every year. Seeing that Jordan was the future of the NBA and Magic Johnson had only received one MVP in his career, they voted Johnson in 1989 and 1990, not to diminsh Magic's accomplishments. Jordan is #1 all-time in total MVP voting, #1 all-time in MVP award shares, and has by far the most total MVPs (Finals, season, All-Star) with 14. Michael Jordan is the only Defensive Player of the Year in history to lead the league in scoring. Only Karl Malone has more All-NBA First Team honors (with one more). Jordan has the most All-Defensive First Team honors in NBA history. Rookie Michael Jordan led his team in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals, making him the only NBA player in history to do that. Jordan was an All-Star every year in which he was eligible, and is #2 all-time in selections behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jordan recorded the only triple double in All-Star Game history in 1997, but did not receive the MVP. Jordan has more scoring titles than any NBA franchise's entire history. He is the only player aside from Wilt Chamberlain to score 3000 points in a season. Jordan was the first player in NBA history to lead the league in both scoring and steals. He did it three times. Jordan led his team to the best regular season and combined regular and postseason records in NBA history. http://www.kb24overrated.comAll realistic fans will ask the question...
