There should be a requirement that you should have seen at least the career and the era of competition of both these players. That like comparing who the best HR hitter Hank Aaron or Babe Ruth

Just seeing Magic Career from the mid to the end the competition was way better then the Jordan era which I saw the entire of. Chuck Daly Pistion defense alone would of put Jordan on his arse for driving to the hoop.
 
Jordan was the best ever, there has never been a player like him before and their probably never will be. I am just happy that i got to watch him year after year growing up.
 
NJ do you honestly think Jordan would of won 6 Title in the 80's? or even 3 titles with legendary teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Pistoins, and 76ers? He would of been lucky to win 1.
 
Jordan

Better Scorer, Better Defender, and he won more with much much less.. Don't get me wrong Magic is great player, but Jordan on top of being great had a desire to win like no other player has.. He defines "Killer Instinct" on the court..

You forgot to add against weaker competition.
 
I think Greenie said it the best, he had a desire to win like no other player has had or has had since.

Amars, I respect your view, but you also have to understand he won with less players on his team then Magic ever had to play with.

I think if you would have put Jordan on pretty much any team during that time, he would have won.

I really dont agree that he had nobody. People questioned if he would of won so many championship without Pippen.
 
It has to be Jordan for two reasons:

a) Look at the numbers, i know magic got more assists but michaels numbers were just spectacular. The guy averaged over 20 ppg when he was 40 years old. Who does that.

b) He won six championships. People say Tom Brady is better than peyton because he has the ring, well so does michael, one for every finger and his big toe

Again Micheal had no competition. No Elite teams in the 90's beside the Bulls. The 80's had 4 of the best teams of ALL TIME. Hence when all these team players retired Micheal finally start winning.

Look at these 80 teams



1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers 65 - 17 (.793)
Moses Malone joined the 76ers as a free agent and teamed with Julius Erving, Andrew Toney, Maurice Cheeks and Bobby Jones to bring the 76ers their first title in 16 seasons...Malone proclaimed the 76ers would sweep through the NBA Playoffs in "Fo', Fo', Fo'" and he wasn't far off as Philadelphia cruised in "Fo', Fi', Fo'" to post the best winning percentage in NBA Playoffs history at .923 (12-1).

1985-86 Boston Celtics 67 - 15 (.817)
Stung by a 4-2 loss to the L.A. Lakers in the 1985 NBA Finals, Larry Bird led the Celtics featuring Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge and a rejuvenated Bill Walton to the best record in franchise history and a 4-2 defeat of Houston in the 1986 NBA Finals...Posted 40-1 record at Boston Garden, best home winning percentage (.976) in NBA history...Fifth-best overall winning percentage ever (.817).

1986-87 L.A. Lakers 65 - 17 (.793)
The Lakers recaptured their place atop the NBA thanks to the "Showtime" fast-break style spearheaded by Earvin "Magic" Johnson and teammates Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Byron Scott, A.C. Green and Michael Cooper...Johnson averaged a career-best 23.9 points per game and led the league in assists with a 12.2 average...Lakers defeated Boston 4-2 in the 1987 NBA Finals after winning 11 of their first 12 games in the playoffs.

1988-89 Detroit Pistons 63 - 19 (.768)
Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, Joe Dumars, Mark Aguirre, Vinnie Johnson and Dennis Rodman combined to form the heart of one of the strongest defensive teams in the modern era...Lacking a dominant center, Pistons featured a potent three-guard rotation and a deep bench that rebounded and defended relentlessly...Pistons were 15-2 in 1989 playoffs, including 4-0 sweep of L.A. Lakers in 1989 NBA Finals.
