The Best basketball player EVER! (highlight video) - GoFuckYourself.com

I was lucky enough to watch him play in person twice before they won the first of many championships. If you have never seen Michael Jordan play the game, you must watch this video to get just a taste of what he did almost on a nightly basis for years.

kobe's and lebron aren't good enough to lick his shoes...

But best baller ever is Wilt... huge, fast and simply the most dominant player of all time. the most jaw dropping though would be Jordan... I still miss watching clyde the glide back in his championship LOSING days with the blazers, they were basketballs Buffalo Bills ;)

I'm REALLY lovin watching the big guy play for the magic these days... seeing something so big that can FLY is badass

Ahh, great video. Brings back a lot of great memories.

loved that! great choice of music - truly bittersweet watching those highlights and lowlights of his career - sad that it is such a short window where an athlete is at his peak - it's the aging process compressed - in sports you go from wonderkid to old man in 15-20 years. You can be a great painter, musician, scientist, actor, lawyer etc for 50 years.

i never saw Wilt play but know his insane stats and have seen clips of him - Wilt was freakishly tall for his era, playing against players a half a foot shorter - not sure but I think he won only one championship near the end of career his with the Lakers. Jordan was better - he was the total package - the most exciting showman and the fiercest most clutch competitor in one guy.

They keep wanting to say this guy or that guy is the next Jordan - Vince Carter, Kobe, Dwayne Wade, Lebron - none of them were/are close - Kobe is the closest but still not even close.

Dwight Howard has a chance to be a once in a generation player - if he had Jordan's almost pathological competitive streak he could be right there in the discussion about the greatest players of all time.

I think I had forgotten just how good Jordan was. Kobe and Lebron have a ways to go.

Spunky · 05-12-2008, 06:16 AM

That was a good clip of a great player

Jordan would have drunked on him. BTW he threw that in. Wasn't a drunk.

Na. Wilt was more than a foot taller than all the players in a league that was actually filled with more whites than blacks. He couldnt shoot nearly as well as Jordan. Didnt have the verticle or grace of Jordan. He didnt have to deal with the advanced defenses that Jordan did.

Lets not forget that Jordan retired at the peak of his career. He could have won atleast 2 more rings if he hadnt tried baseball. Wilt wasnt CLUTCH like jordan either. Just a big man playing boys well before his time.
