And it's irrelevant anyways because whether or not Jordan was the greatest player is beside the point.
And my arguement to you is that the teammates made Jordan better as well in a way. Because I do not think he would have won those championships alone.
It's true, you do need 5 to field a team.

Right, when he was an old man. Excellent point. Great comparison. Accounting for all the variables. Impressive.

You could exchange Scottie for plenty of other decent players and MJ still would have led the team to championships. As to the other players, I've already pointed out that none of them were on all 6 of those teams, so it's been demonstrated that those guys were not essential.
