Bob Knight was the coach of the USA team had the best quote reguarding Jordan. When Knight was talking to a Portland scout (who had the #2 pick in the draft) Knight said to pick MJ but the the scout said, "Michael's great but we need a center." Knight responded, "Well play Jordan at center."

Jordan won an NCAA championship in 1982, a Pan American games gold medal in 1983, and and Olympic gold medal in 1984. He was the leading scorer for two of those gold medals. Yet according to critics, he couldn't "win" without Scottie Pippen. ..interesting.

Well, he didn't. Not a title. And that is not a knock at Jordan. No basketball player, no matter how great, can win with sub-par team-mates. You need at least two great players, or one great and a few very, very good ones to win.

Well, that's because in college, Worthy led NC to the championship in '82 after leading NC to a runner-up finish in '81 (Jordan was in high school). Jordan's '83 & '84 college teams underachieved despite all the future NBA players. Jordan was a great individual talent but needed the right teammates before he could lead the Bulls to six titles. During the second three-peat, the Bulls had the most team talent in the NBA. Jordan was no Bird or Magic when it came to winning. Again, like Wilt, Jordan was a unique individual talent but did not have the ability to make his teammates better. Jordan could not win with Pippen and Coach Jackson. Jordan has said that in multiple interviews and his HOF speech. That does not take away from Jordan's greatness; he just was not a winner like Bird and Magic.
@omnivorous65

That statement lacks any factual substance. Not a winner like Bird or Magic? For one he won more titles than Bird or Magic. Secondly, both Bird and Magic were surrounded with HOF talent. Parish, Dennis Johnson, McHale for Bird, Magic had Kareem, Worthy, Cooper. MJ won the first three titles with one other HOF, Pippen. You conjured that statement out of your backside, mate.@@bpsactclass2218

@@bpsactclass2218 Everything you said is complete BS. In 1982 Worthy only averaged 2 more points per game than Jordan, but according to you he "led" North Carolina to the championship. Jordan is the person who hit the game winning shot when they were down, not Worthy. Also, in the NBA Jordan did not need the right teammates, he just needed decent teammates. His first three years in the league he had arguably the least talent around him in the entire NBA. In 1987 the second best player on his team was a 2nd year Charles Oakley, who was a basically a role player with minimal offensive ability. As good as the East was back then, there is no player who was going to lead those Bulls teams to anything significant. As soon as his roster was even a little adequate the Bulls started winning playoff series. You also mention the second three peat Bulls had the most talent in the NBA. That's complete nonsense. Those teams weren't that loaded at all. You could easily make a case that teams like the Jazz, Sonics, Lakers, and Knicks were just as talented if not more so. Next to Jordan and Pippen in that lineup was a broken down Ron Harper who was a good defender, but very limited on offense at that stage of his career, a past his prime Dennis Rodman who was a liability half the time, and absolutely nothing at the center position with a stiff like Luc Longley. Their bench was also nothing special. To say Jordan was not a winner like Bird and Magic is completely moronic. When Pippen was a mere inconsistent role player in his 2nd year in 1989, Jordan led the Bulls to game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against a far more talented Pistons team. He completely carried that franchise almost single handedly to the NBA finals with a relatively weak supporting cast. Pippen really didn't emerge as a player capable of being the 2nd best player on a championship team until his 4th season in 1991, and even then he was nowhere near the force that Jordan was. Prior to 91' Pippen lacked confidence in big game situations and would shrink quite often. Again, Jordan did not need the right teammates, that's idiotic. He just needed adequate talent around him considering he was going against all time great teams like the 80s Celtics and the late 80s/early 90s Pistons. He did not have the benefit of cruising through a dumpster fire of a conference like LeBron in the 00s and he was not as fortunate as Bird and Magic to be surrounded with premium talent from day one. Neither of those guys could carry a team like Jordan, but Michael could elevate his teammates just like they did.

Hell no! Jordan made EVERYONE better because they had to raise their game playing with the best.

The bulls were just so dominant not only because they had the greatest player of all time in Michael Jordan.... but also because they had the PERFECT supporting cast to compliment Jordan. Just my opinion.

The only reason I rank them second is because they didn't play the Soviets. Also, its interesting to not that besides Jordan, two other players on this team were on the Dream Team; Chris Mullen and Patrick Ewing. Also, Charles Barkley, John Stockton and Karl Malone all tried out but were cut.
