A new player poll done by The Athletic reveals current NBA players believe Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time.
Greenberg also pointed to the difference in scoring value. Back in Jordan's era, scoring wasn't as much of a point of emphasis as it is today. However, Jordan consistently averaged over 30 points per game on"low-scoring games" compared to those today.
He also looked to the game's avoidance of the 3-point line in contrast to its importance today. Jordan hardly shot the 3-point shot but a boost in his usage from beyond the arc would certainly jet his point total, according to Greenberg. "We got guys averaging 33 now," Greenberg said."Michael Jordan never shot 3's because no one shot 3's back then. Michael Jordan's numbers should be viewed almost in the same context as Jerry West's."
It'll be interesting to see how Jordan's perceptions fare down the road. Certainly, more players who grew up watching James are entering the league, likely forming a bias against Chicago's all-time great.
