By whom? Depends how you define the term system. Jordan was a great player until Pippen joined the tram. Then he became a true winner. Without Pippen Jordan’s championships would be fewer. And then many define greatness in terms of brand recognition in addition to talent. Too bad players like Wilt Chamberlain, Russell, Bird and Magic not to mention Walt Frazier or Pete Maravich didn’t have the shoe franchise of Jordan. Maybe we’d be collecting Wilt 100 point game shoes instead of Air Jordans. Jordan’s abysmal Hall of Fame charade lessens his greatness in the minds of many longtime sports fans. Bobby Orr played fewer games and had less points than Gretzky. But talk to hockey players pro and other wise and they’ll cite Orr, Howe, even Sidney Crosby as better than the “great one”. In ways other than sheer brand or name recognition. I, for one, would’ve loved to have seen Jordan attempt a dunk on Wilt.
