This.  I mean, "greatest" is not a purely objective term but

at the notion that AI is the greatest basketball player of all time.  Favorite is an entirely different subject... anyone can be your favorite basketball player (or rapper, movie, etc.) because the criteria for determining your favorite is yours alone.

And this is coming from a big AI fan.

On another note, he definitely owned the hood during that era.  Girls wanted to be with him and dudes wanted to be like him...

Watched that play live like millions of others, but never noticed until now that he actually patted his head too...

...utter and complete disrespect.

Let's be honest...

A.I. is a reason why A LOT of dudes had braids. A.I. is probably the primary reason why the NBA has its current dress code. A.I. was super tatted up before...anybody. The only other NBA player I can think of that had a lot of tats was Dennis Rodman. Look now and it's hard to find a dude playing without a full sleeve.

A.I. led a movement. No...he doesn't have a ring but he was a beast in his day. That team he took to the Finals were full of bums...probably worse than the team LeBron took to the Finals.
