In fact, the reason why Jordan said this is mainly because he thinks that in the history of NBA, there are many old-timers who are better than him, and he has never had a chance to compete with these old-timers. If Jordan says he is the best player in history, it is disrespectful to these old-timers. I have to say that Jordan not only plays well, but also has a very high IQ. In fact, Jordan is already the best player in NBA history in the eyes of many people.

In fact, the whole thing has to start with James. James once talked about this problem on the program. James thinks that he should be the best player in history in the future by reversing the Warriors to win the championship in 20 16. Hearing James say such things, many fans are actually unhappy. Although James is indeed the top player among the active players, there is still a gap compared with some stars in history.

Forget about superstars like Jordan. James, a basketball elder like Chamberlain and Jerry West, could not surpass him, so many people thought James was not particularly humble at that time. Later, Jordan participated in a basketball program and was asked this question by the host. Compared with you, Jordan's answer is more modest. In fact, we can also say that Jordan's answer is still relatively emotional intelligence. Because answering this question in this way will not only lose powder, but also attract a lot of fans.

The NBA has never lacked NBA stars, because it is actually very simple for the league to build a superstar. The league relies on these stars to earn ticket revenue. Of course, one thing we can't deny is that James is definitely the overlord among the active players. Although James has a certain age now, his average score and assists are still among the best.
