I certainly believe he belongs in the HOF.
Coco has a point, I think? His FG % is not great for such a prodigious talent. But he did have to take shots to win. Aside from Pippin, no one else could fill it up consistently.
While I agree that he was one of the greatest players played in the NBA, I don't necessarily agree that he was the most dominant player in sports. I saw Bobby Orr take over most games he played in as a Bruin. I missed Bill Russell in his prime, but few would argue that he could take over a game and dominate. I don't want to sound like a homer here. Wilt was a tremendous force. George Mikan?
In my opinion, Jordan came along just in time to be the most influential player in the NBA, and possibly
all of North American sports. Dominant? Nah.
Hey, what about Pele?
