#2 Jordan didn't have to team up with great players

It can be argued that Mike had Scottie Pippen by his side in all those six championships, so he didn't practically did it all by himself. But, when one has to collaborate with a couple of great players to help out in winning a title, it raises a lot of eyebrows and make a number of observers doubtful.

Specifically, when the subject of who the greatest of all-time is hogs the limelight. As great as LeBron James is, that formula didn't even work the first time, having his super team Miami Heat getting clobbered by a Dallas team that practically only had a Dirk Nowitzki.

James would win three titles after that painful loss, but needed all the help he could get from the likes of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosch, Kevin Love, and Kyrie Irving, two at a time. Jordan didn't have to shop around to have great players in his fold, he made his teammates "great players".
