...Who Is the Greatest Basketball Player Of All Time? Michael Jordan vs. Lebron James; Air Jordan vs. King James; The Chosen One vs. His Airness. Who is the greatest basketball player of all time? Both are huge figures in not only within the game of basketball, but in the entire world of sports. Jordan has always been coveted as the best basketball player but the comparisons between him and James have escalated in recent years due to James’ dominance in all facets of the game, his first NBA championship title, and his three MVPs in his first 9 years in the NBA. However, I believe that Michael Jordan beats out LeBron James for the title of greatest basketball player of all-time because of his complete dominance of the game, and six NBA Championships. Dominance of the Game Michael Jordan’s dominated the game of basketball with his outstanding jump shot, great handles, hard work mentality, and his will to win. He dominated in every aspect of the game. He could shoot from anywhere on the court, his pull up jump shot was impossible to stop when he was rhythm. An example of this would be where in one game he scored an eye-popping 69 points with a field goal percentage of 62.2%. He handled the ball like a true point guard, dishing out assists whenever the opportunity arose. His 5.3 assists are an example of his excellent handles and ability to get the ball to his teammates.

Some names that you would be likely to see when discussing this topic are: Bill Russell, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan (Top 10 Players in NBA History). Most people can recognize most of these names but one of these people may be the most well known people in all of sports. The reason for this is because he is you doubtfully the best person to every play the game of basketball. This man is Michael Jordan and he was the greatest player to ever be apart of the NBA because of his accomplishments in basketball, his impact on the game, and the legacy that he has left. Jordan’s career stats and awards are matched by very few other players. Some say that LeBron James is the greatest player. LeBron has not shown a career performance that comes anywhere close to what Jordan has accomplished. LeBron career points per game is 27.5, while Jordan averaged 30.1 points per game (Top 10 Players in NBA History). While this may not seem that much of a difference, Jordan puts the icing on the cake with all of his career accomplishments. Jordan has 3 times as many NBA championships than LeBron. Although it is true that LeBron has not finished his NBA career yet, he is definitely not on pace to surpass Jordan. To add to that, Jordan also had 6 finals MVP awards, 10 scoring titles...

...enlisted in the Air Force and joined a band. He eventually began a career as a Motown artist, and is known to be one of the pioneers of Motown and one of the greatest artists of all time (Kimberley & Lopez). Marvin has had many impacts on music, and in this essay we will discuss his career beginnings, significant events that impacted him, significant accomplishments, and the impact that he had on others. Marvin Gaye’s educational career was short lived, and ended after attending Cardozo High School. During his time in high school, he began performing with local bands. While Marvin was at home, he experienced frequent physical abuse from his father. Marvin dreamed of being a pilot. Because of the constant abuse received from his father, Marvin dropped out of high school at the young age of 17. From there, he joined the United States Air Force in hopes of living out his dream of becoming a pilot. Unfortunately, Marvin found the jobs he was given while in the Air Force to be tedious and boring, so he faked an illness to get honorably discharged (“Marvin Gaye Biography”). Much of what Marvin learned in music did not come from actual teachers but from his background and the people that surrounded him. The earliest traces of influence in Marvin’s music come from the time when he sang in his father’s Apostolic church. His time spent in the...

...High king of Great Britain, son of Uther Pendragon and Igraine. Arthur stands as one of the greatest mythical heroes that the world has ever known. So great was the influence of Arthur, that stories of the high king traveled far beyond the realm of Britain into France, the rest of Europe, the Middle East, and even into parts of Asia. The coming of Arthur was prophesied years before he was born. Arthur was born into a world of chaos and disorder where wars between different Celtic tribes were prevalent, different Saxon raids charged through the countryside brining fear and terror, and bandits and other criminals ran free all over the British isles, spreading crime like a disease. When Arthur took the throne however, this chaos dissolved within a matter of years and Britain became an ideal place of chivalry, honor, and justice. It is truly amazing how much of an influence that one man could have. With his advisor Merlin at his side and with the fellowship of the courageous knights of the Round Table, Arthur transformed a chaotic land of villainy and danger into a realm of peace, tranquility, and adventure. All of Britain looked up to Arthur and spoke of him with awe and admiration. The real Arthur was most likely a Celtic general that lived sometime in the 6th century. He advised various kings to unite together to fight the raiding Saxons. He was most likely a military genius. In those dark days, true heroes were very scarce and the people looked for someone like Arthur to...
