In his career record, Jordan can't compare with Chamberlain, the "basketball emperor" who scored 100 points in a single game. So why did Jordan become the first person in the NBA? Although Jordan doesn't have as many championships as Russell, Jordan's six championships are more valuable than Russell's 1 1 championship. The NBA system in Russell's era was not perfect in all aspects, and the teams in the league did not have Jordan, so Jordan's six crowns contained more gold. At the same time, Jordan won FMVP in six championships. Although the MVP in the finals was named after Russell, the Celtics at that time were so strong that even the top 50 players in NBA history sat on the bench.
Although Chamberlain averaged 100 points and 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game, Jordan's data is not bad. Jordan averaged more than 30 points per game for seven consecutive seasons, and 10 was the scoring champion. According to the average data of his career, Jordan averaged 30. 1 minute, and so did Chamberlain. Compared with Russell's and Chamberlain's era, Jordan's era is a period of rapid development of NBA. Jordan is the ruler of this generation and naturally becomes the darling of the NBA. Jordan's series of data also made his player value and business value increase rapidly. At the same time, with the help of Jordan, the economy and influence of the NBA have been strengthened, so Jordan and the NBA are each other.
Modern stars Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are definitely the two most influential people with the largest number of fans. But if we put Kobe and James in the Jordan era, and add "Utah double evil", Ewing, Olajuwon, Buckley and others, will Kobe and James create so many "uncrowned kings" like Jordan? Kobe and James also have the charm of idols, but their efforts still need to be successful. Jordan succeeded in that era and became an idol. Jordan has enough championship figures, conforms to the development of the times, and is far ahead of other players in comprehensive evaluation such as data and honor, so Jordan becomes the first person in the NBA.
Although Jordan is recognized as the first person in the media and NBA, every fan has the first person in his heart. Just like our generation of fans, they have never experienced the Jordan era, but they have witnessed the greatness of Kobe and James. They are the "gods of basketball" in our hearts.
