No, it's absolutely ridiculous to have him outside the top 3.

And it's that statement he was trying to defend when he stated MJ was basically average in those categories. So don't try to spin this as him trying to compliment MJ.

Aside from size, MJ was def better that than the average NBA player (even NBA HOFer) in those other categories.
No, it's not absolutely ridiculous. Despite the adulation that Jordan gets it's completely reasonable to have him outside of your top three, it's just uncommon. Personally Jordan's my #1 as well but I gotta respect somebody who has Chamberlain, Jabbar, Shaq, Magic, etc. ahead of him if they have a solid argument for it.

It's ridiculous.

And that's why he made those asinine 'average' remarks...in a desperate attempt to defend that ridiculous statement.

I'm just saying, don't try to spin this as him trying to compliment MJ by saying he achieved so much with average athleticism, cuz that's not what he did.

You can say a lot of things about jordan, average talent isn't one of them. Jordan lived up to the hype. Jordan was damn near perfect in everything, dunking, scoring, defensively he was underrated as well. Jordan had no weaknesses in his game.

Last night he also said that Lebron wasn't a great player until Pat Riley

It was at the very end of the broadcast the other announcer said he needed a drink:russ:
