Has to be Lavar Ball’s insane season where he averaged a staggering 2.2 ppg
Idk Skip Bayless averaging that 1.1 ppg was pretty great too

The most absurd thing of MJ's 11 seasons in the top 50 is that those are ALL his full seasons with the Bulls, the only ones missing are his second season where he broke his foot and missed a lot of the season, and his comeback sesson when he joined the team halfway through after playing baseball. Literally every time he got to play the whole thing, he had a top 50 sesson of all time
Broken foot he only played 18 games and he was on limited minutes when he came back cause the team didn’t want to win to get a lottery pick. When he came back from baseball is wasn’t even half way through. He only played 17 games that year. That’s less than a quarter. So 2 seasons he played less than a quarter of the games both times
Great comment. He's truely the goat, and it's not even close

I feel lucky to have been born in the mid 70's and watching Jordan as a kid. It was magical.
Same here - I was born in 1979 and really caught Jordan from 1991 onwards (this is when the NBA started being broadcast in Greece). So I missed the late 80s show, although I had heard of how good he was. Still, I feel immensely blessed to have lived through both threepeats. This whole argument of Jordan vs LeBron is an utter joke. LeBron is great, but Jordan stands head and shoulders above ANYONE.
Sorry Charlie it wasn't magical all it was was attractive and beautiful like watching the Harlem Globetrotters there's no basis that anybody can make him being the greatest of all time greatest of his time is the only claim that can be made by his own admission he took no statistic for 75 so some people do not want to analyze in ignorance. Look up Kareem Russell Chamberlain duh

Bro the end literally gave me goosebumps 🥶🥶🥶 MJ was a straight beast🔥
Yeah he was the beastly elephant That got swallowed historically swallowed by the great right whale Chamberlain, do your own research besides repeating everything you hear other people say It's not even close they changed the rule of the game for Chamberlain but of course you want to ignore that or don't want to use your brain to study and get the facts
@@Iambriangregory Did they also change the rules that lead to Wilt under performing in the playoffs and in the finals? It could be said that Wilt, talented as he was, was the first major stat padder in the history of the NBA. His playoff numbers are definitely not GOAT worthy, which is where MJ totally blows him out of the water. Or do we choose to ignore that fact, as you eloquently put it?
I am blessed to have witnessed MJ during some of his best years. As a kid there was no greater or more dominant of a public figure than Michael Jordan. He is the greatest of all time, and this video demonstrates just how far & above he is from everyone else across all eras of basketball. Legend.
Same here, I used exactly the same phrase in a comment above - blessed. It's hard to describe just how good he was and exactly what we did witness to those who have not lived through it..
MJ always on top no matter what. Crazy once you actually put things into different perspective and see just how dominant MJ was
It's all of that but also his MVP snubs too. Just shows he was disrespected while he played, almost like how LeBron, CP3, etc are disrespected now.
Can’t forget his comp compared to lebron tho. You also wernt allowed to double team but hey those stats don’t matter here do they lol
@@cjmyers80 nearly on every michael jordan highlight you see him getting doubled and even triple teamed on a majority of his drives. What are you talking about.

@@cjmyers80 you can't touch players nowadays either what's your point
This video really put into perspective how great Jordan was and how it's almost impossible to tie or surpass him. Also, David Robinson doesnt get enough credit for how great he was.

As a non Jordan fan, this is probably the most comprehensive analysis to say that he was the greatest. This is also based off regular season and the post season and championships strengthen the argument. Great work Jxmy
not really the way he did his calculations benefited scoring way to much i dont think assists and points should of been scored the same someone who avgs 20 and 18 assist would lost to someone who avg 35 and 5 assist (assists should of been worth more)
@@OMG-si3wn why do you give points to assist more? if the scorer doesn't make it an assist isn't posible even how good the pass is.
@@OMG-si3wn 😂😂😂 3pts for assist just to pump more points for lequeen 🤣🤣🤣.. don't cry little kid 🤡
@@OMG-si3wn Those 18 assists would account for a minimum of 36 team points in addition to the 20 points the player scored, and a theoretical max north of 70 if you assume mostly 3's with contact. In reality, 18 assists could net a team between 45 and 50 points assuming a handful of 3's plus a couple of and 1's. The person with the 20/18 is directly responsible for +60, easily, whereas the 35/5 is closer to 45, with a theoretical max of just 55 points assuming all 5 of those assists lead to a 3+1. In conclusion, I'd say the 20/18 game is objectively better by a large spread.
@John Doe I agree. The all defensive team selection being 10 pts is also rather biased as Jordan kept winning that award despite clearly not being the best defender on not the best defensive team. It's also just odd to weigh a subjective defensive award so highly when everything else is using objective measures (mvp voting was not used for example). PER or BPM already factor in the counting stats and efficiency with appropriate weighting. Contaminating them with counting metrics and other stuff without much thought to weighting or any regard to efficiency is purely for entertainment purposes and should be treated as such
Man, this channel always finds new and creative ways to prove time and time again that MJ is, was, and probably will forever be the GOAT.

@@bogart7498 you mean individual competition or team competition? Coz MJ had both he just faced bad teams in the finals coz other than Jazz, the Western Conference was pathetic compared to the Eastern Conference like after MJ retired after his 1st 3 peat Bulls lost to Knicks whom they were dominating when MJ was on the Bulls, they couldn't even stop Pat Ewing. Let's not forget MJ played against Prime Bad Boy Pistons one of the most underrated dynasties of all time and when he got support he absolutely destroyed them, Rookie MJ played against Celtics with Bird who was like top 3 players in the league and Bulls beat Lakers who were not old. Yeah everyone tells you lies about that, Magic Johnson was putting up MVP level numbers and most of their players were less than 30 years of age meanwhile LBJ played against Spurs in 13 while their players were literal uncles
It amazes me that it doesn’t matter how you slice it…it will still be MJ…the GOAT! 🐐
It amazes me that no matter how you slice it people cut themselves with the lies that Jordan was the best he was the most attractive I'll give you that ,he couldn't beat bird, Isaiah or magic in their prime, doesn't have more rings than Kareem and Wilt Chamberlain owns records so many they changed the rules of the game for him not for Jordan got it? Get it!
@@Iambriangregory isiah had a team full of 5 hall of famers while mjs 2nd option was dave corzine.. the moment pippen became an all star, it was all over for the pistons, and isiah was only 29, if thats considered out of his prime thats his own problem, not michaels... same thing for magic, a team with him, a top 3 player ever in kareem, a dpoy in michael cooper, and the underrated james worthy who always came through in the clutch, mjs 2nd option was dave corzine, but once pippen became a star he took them to the finals and beat the (admittedly weaker) lakers team in 5 games... kareem has the best resume ever arguably, but dominated most in a league where there was like 14 teams and half the best players were in a different league... yet he still only won 1 ring, same with wilt, only 2 rings in a league with just 8 teams, he was a horribly selfish player, his stats are inflated because of the pace of play, and he was a massive playoff underperformer, im fine if you argue lebron or even kareem over michael, but saying wilt is even in the same stratosphere as any of those 3 is a horrible take, the top 3 is michael lebron kareem in any order, followed by players like duncan bird and magic, who are followed by kobe shaq bill curry and hakeem, THEN wilt

He analyzes data at a high school level lmao
You knew he would be number one because your brainwashed like a lot of people who refuse to respect history The only thing you can ever say no one is the greatest of all time You can only say the greatest of their time and by the definition of the objective Russell stands above everyone Chamberlain's right there and Kareem so you can ignore the truth but I rather not be an ignoramus in basketball.

MJ’s best 5-year stretch with the score of 680.1 is insane. That is an average of 136.02 a season which would be third all time. 🐐
This is the best comment. A stretch of 5 years averaging the 3rd best peak performance is unthinkable.
680.9 actually...Which adds up to 23,lol.That stretch was from 88-92. MJ’s 91-98 stretch is even more insane (IMO) because it was both individual AND team wise. So because of retirement/baseball he only played six seasons in that time span,he played the last 17 games of the 94-95 season but only played six full season from 91 when he broke through and got his first til 98 when he retired from Chicago for good... In those six season he won 6 championships,6 finals mvps,6 scoring titles,made all-def 1st team 6 times and won league mvp 4 times,twice in each *3-peat*. The bulls won 6 in 8 years...MJ himself won 6 in a row (when playing a full season) or he won 6 outta the 7 season’s he participated in from 91-98. Either way,nobody has done anything even close to that since Bill Russell 70+ years ago. Lebron,Kareem,Wilt,Bird Magic,Isaiah,Shaq,Kobe,Tim Duncan,Hakeem,Russell,Steph,KD and so so many more never accomplished all that ⤴️ in their entire 15-20+ year careers. MJ did it in six with a motherF’ing retirement in the middle. Goat.
3rd all time behind only himself haha crazy!
What does 136.02 even mean though?
Which basically means 3rd is a median and average of ranks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
We all know if Wilt's seasons would have the stats available like today, he would be alone, WAY above MJ in terms of stats. Literally could easily be in all these lists that Jxmy has put out, with the stats we have available of him right now. Man was UNBELIEVEABLE. It's really a shame that people don't research that era enough.
nope. he needs consistency
What? Wilt was very consistent throughout his career. But even if you think he wasn't, what's that got to do with the argument we're talking about?
Wilt had great stat years against inferior talent, during a different era, with significantly different rules.
@RatedRex1 nobody has superior talent to Wilt, so that statement about talent is irrelevant. Everyone had less talent than him. And different rules, yes, of course, a lot of them made specifically for him, to make it harder to score. So i don't see your point.

Out of MJ's 15 season, he was injured in '86(18 gp) and played only 17 games in '95, so that leaves 13 healthy seasons.

I love that all you guys are educating these youngsters ! I was lucky enough to watch him in real time change the game.
My main issues with this is that none of the stats are normalized based on era(points per game for each season have varied a lot and points should be worth more in lower scoring eras like 1995-2008 where the league average was under 100 points per game) Also assists are scored the same as points when on average they're worth somewhere between 2-3 points varying between era. Efficiency isn't looked at at all(not just scoring, but assists to turnovers too) It was an intriguing video to watch, but it clearly favors Jordan with this version of scoring. I think it would be really interesting to see this template fleshed out more and redone.

Wilt averaged 50 and 25 one year. Also, they did not record blocks. Of the 112 games that were recorded and analyzed afterwards he averaged 8.8 blocks per game. There are accounts of him recording 20 blocks. So, the 50 point 25 rebound season, it's safe to say he recorded at least 8.8 blocks per game, conservatively. He most likely averaged more than that and was probably over 10 per game that year. It's a complete slap in the face to not mention this man in this video. He also averaged more than 48 minutes played per game in a season. He played every minute of every game, including overtime minutes. He did not foul out once, and played more minutes on average longer than the length of a complete game for an entire year. Pay some respect to Wilt!
Wilt would have a season score of 143.7 in 1961-62. ...And that's without DPOY, VOR, AS MVP, and +/- on account of not existing at the time. That still comes in at the second best season on Jxmy's list, truly an amazing season from Wilt.
This man honestly just changed my opinion I've never denied MJ a thing but I will now declare him the GOAT

Nobody ever thought that til nick wright came along. The day before he came out all bugged eyed talking about Lebron already passed MJ and all that...The day before that not one Lebron fan ever though he was on MJ’s level.They were all busy arguing with Kobe fans back then.
defense is way more difficult than offense.
Those MJ stats are mind blowing considering he played in an era where you could elbow someone in the face and won't even get rejected.
Yea but you couldn't elbow HIM in the face. MJ was famous for getting special treatment in the NBA. He's definitely the best basketball player to ever live, but he was absolutely babied by the league officials. Referees were told not to call fouls on him, and to call questionable fouls AGAINST him.
For example: Jordan swipes someone and clearly hits their hand, causing them to lose the ball. - NO FOUL Jordan is dribbling and somebody swipes and touches his arm. - FOUL
@@rumham7631 You have a point I guess but MJ's peak (88-92) includes prime Pistons where like you said a little contact on MJ is called a foul so they touch him hard anyway if it's gonna get called. He averaged 8 freethrow attempts though. In comparison Bron averages 7.
@@rumham7631 the Pistons beat him by LITERALLY elbowing him in the face and getting away w it…. Im not seeing what ur getting at?

it’s crazy how every video just proves MJ is the GOAT
The fact that MJ's ROOKIE SEASON alongside most of his career was on this list and among so many others despite playing only 12 real, full seasons, just further proves why 90% of NBA players and most NBA fans claim he is the GOAT. Insane.

Maybe at this point in time but not for all time unless you have a wax in your ears he said he didn't take records before 75 and that's his problem That's his standard Chamberlain cannot be ignored near the Baylor or west and others If you choose to ignore it then you're subscribing to stupidity and ignorance
You're so wrong it's unbelievable Because it IS DISPUTED EINSTEIN by his own admission he didn't use records before 75 and if you want to ignore West Baylor Chamberlain and others then that just means you subscribe to stupidity it is disputed You're wrong!

@@thelegendoof8744 what's so funny, it's the truth
I feel like this needs to be talked about more. Bro is already a Hall of Famer at 28.
If you take out every season in the top 50 that happened after Jordan retired from the Bulls, you are left with 21 seasons. So basically, in NBA history up until '98, Jordan had 11 of the top 21 seasons all time (by this metric) and to further break it down - 7 of the top 10 and 4 of the top 5. Insane.
As a huge Hakeem fan, it's criminal how underrated Robinson is because of how that duel went down and him handing the keys to Duncan.
Both Hakeem and David are top 10 of all-time. Always thought so, especially over Duncan. Glad to see Admiral finally finding some respect with this video.
@@scottb3034 david isnt even close to top 10 all time, and isnt even in the same timezone as duncan in terms of greatness... duncan is a top 5 player EVER, robinson finds himself out of the top 15, dont start
@@Someone-hi1nt Tell me you never watched robinson play without telling me you never watched him play. Robinson was the most dominating two-way Center of his time and yes that includes Hakeem. His 1993-94 season is a top 5 non-Wilt Chamberlain season in history by a player. Only MJ and Shaq have ever done better (and this is based on 3rd party, objective metrics...not my own opinion). Heck....Admiral has 4 top 100 seasons by ANY NBA player since 1970....how many does duncan have? ZERO. Duncan had a luxury Robinson never had....a good system that didn't need him. Duncan was carried for over half his career by parker, ginobili and later kawhi among many others in the Spurs well-oiled machine (you could put almost ANY dominant big man from the 90s or 00s on that team and win 4 titles). Robinson was a better leader, better defender, better scorer and better player. What he never had before Duncan arrived was Gregg Popovich coaching and for the most part he didn't have Gregg's magic touch in free agency and the draft. You mean to tell me that if Robinson and Duncan switched eras that Duncan would have won a championship and that Robinson wouldn't have won 5? Because I'm here to tell you you are wrong. Robinson was playing with 43 year old Moses Malone, Vinny Del Negro and JR Reid while Duncan played with HOF Tony Parker, HOF Manu Ginobili, HOF Kawhi Leonard, All-Star Stephen Jackson, Danny Green, Bruce Bowen, Horry and Kerr among MANY MANY others. Duncan's claim to top 10 are his rings...2 of which were won thanks to others. He stopped being MVP caliber by the time he was 28 (robinson was busy winning scoring titles and MVPs at that age)....he latched on to the spurs for the next decade. Also LMAO NO ONE considers Duncan a top 5 player. NOBODY. Top 5 are reserved for Jordan, Kobe, James, Bird, Magic, Kareem, Wilt and Bill....sometimes Shaq. If you had to poll people Duncan doesn't even register on the radar of top 5 outside of San Antonio. So, don't start.
@@scottb3034 im not reading all that, but robinson never won sht before duncan arrived, duncan turned the spurs who never even had a finals appearance to a franchise thats 5-1 in the finals and had 17 straight years of 50+ wins (besides the 50 game lockout season in 99 where they were on pace for 62)... he has 2 mvp awards, 1 more than robinson, and while never won a dpoy was a better defender career wise than robinson and made 15 all defense and 15 all nba teams... 3 fmvps btw, david has 0, if you legitimately think david robinson is a better player than tim duncan career wise, i dont even know what to tell you, peak wise sure i wont argue against that and by the way, duncan is so far ahead of wilt that its actually insane, theyre not even in the same stratosphere... duncan literally played in the same era as kobe and dominated more than him, so im not sure why youd have him over tim. shaq and bill are a tier lower than duncan, and bird and magic have arguments, though you can easily make an argument for duncan over them too lol. mj lebron and kareem are the only 3 who are really easily ahead of duncan. if you legitimately dont believe duncan is at worst a top 7 player of all time, then you dont know the game of basketball
@@Someone-hi1nt If you aren't going to read all of it then you are a waste of time. Afraid that it would thoroughly debunk you. Proverb 18:2 comes to mind. "Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions." I'll just say a few things: He won more MVPs because he played in a weak era (No MJ, Magic or Hakeem to steal mvps) and he played like 6 years longer than Robinson to accrue more defensive hardware (Because of the Navy Robinson started at 24 and ended at 37. He had a catastrophic leg injury that hurt his career--and allowed Duncan to be drafted there). Robinson has a block title, rebound title, DPOY and better defensive averages. In no way is Duncan better. Couple things: Kobe actually won back to back as the main guy (and as many total rings), he also only won 1 MVP thanks to steve nash and was more relevant than Duncan for longer in their careers. Duncan had the fortune of a much better team most years thanks to Pop. That said he wasn't even the best player from that era....Shaq probably was. Also you are confusing the consensus most popular choices for top 5 for my choices. I don't have Kobe, Bill or Shaq top 5...but they are higher than Tim. MJ, Magic, Larry, Wilt and Hakeem are the top 5 of all time. Shaq could be argued. Lebron James isn't in the conversation for colluding with Wade and running to other superstars for help too often and failing too often. Either read my other reply in full or don't bother replying, it's clear you don't know basketball history and delight only in reaffirming your flawed, uninformed opinion.

That's a very good analysis. The only thing I would have liked to see is when applying points, rebounds, and assists to the calculations of individual season stat, I would have liked to see them as pace-adjusted stats for each era rather than as raw numbers.
Best content creator for any sport out there!!
Insane to think about how Steph’s unanimous mvp was the 31st. Considering that this list takes into account quite a bit of defense, puts into perspective how hard Curry’s offense was going that year to get him all the way up there lmao

Even his time with the wizards is impressive. He was 40 Years old and was still averaging 20 points. And sure you can say that LJ is doing a lot better than mj was but he spends millions of dollars on his body while mj was out of the game for several years and just decided to come back on a whim
Worth noting are the rules of the league and style of play. I'm not saying it's easier to score these days... but it is. The fact that MJ played during an era when 85-93 scores were normal really makes them pop and boggle the mind.
