Russ, Wilt Chamberlain was VERY good. There's not too many players (if any) that scored over 100 points in one game :) But when he played the game was vastly different, a lot slower... I would have to say that MJ was a better player.... It would have been an awesome 1on1 to see MJ in his prime play against Wilt in his prime..

Depends on the era.

Wilt the stilt (only 100 point game in the history)
Larry Bird
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan

The list goes on...

Jordan at nearly 40 could still stomp 60% of those incoming rookies ;)

NFS4, None of this years rookies could hold a candle to Jordan if he started playing again.

Wilt created the modern game of basketball. He is the well from which all else has sprung. No other player before, or after, has impacted basketball in the magnitude that he did.

Is Jordan an extraordinary player? Hell yes. Sometimes when I watch him, I think that he cannot be human; that he must have bionic implants.

But, greatness goes beyond talent. It is a measure of the level of change caused by ones presence in the venture.

By that criteria, Chamberlain is, and always will be, the greatest whoever lived.

That's the Trifecta (or trinity)! All others are inferior.

Kareem does get an honorable mention though.
