#2 Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan is widely considered to be the greatest all-around player in the history of the game. Being named in the All-NBA First team 10 times plus 9 times in the NBA All-Defensive first team emboldens his impact on both ends of the floor. He earned the nickname “Air Jordan because of his extraordinary vertical air-stay and inhuman decision making in mid-air making it seem like he was up there forever.

Jordan led the league in scoring in the very first season of his in the NBA, grabbing 'Rookie of the Year' after being drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984. He was only the second player (after Wilt Chamberlain) to score 3,000 points in a single season (1986–87) and had bagged 5 NBA regular season MVP trophies by the time he retired in 2003. His pile of 32,292 regular season points stands 4th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
