Me and my dad had a 2 hour argument of who was better.I said that MJ because he holds the record for assits in a season and assits in a single game and in that game he had 40+ point. He for 3 straight years held the top record and his team holds the all time best record for a team. He on an average game had 30-40 points along with 20 assits also he was on the all defensive team for 8 or more straight seasons.On the other hand Wilt holds the most points and rebounds in a game. Also he is the only player to have a season average of 50+ ppg. Also he lead the league in scoring for 5 or so straight seasons.
I'll say Jordan. The only reason that Wilt had so much success is that he was playing against 6"7 guys when he was like 7"1 or 7"2. Sure he was a great player but he towered over every one and his era wasn't very competitive. MJ did everything very well. Defense, passing, shooting, driving, rebounding, stealing, he could even post up some times. He won 6 championships. How many did Wilt win? Wilt's accomplishments don't come close to Michael's. MJ wins this one.
Michael Jordan. He was a better winner than Wilt, better playoff performer, better player down the stretch of games, and played in an era where everyplayer had at least comparable physical skill. MJ was just too much to go against

First you said in Kobe's 81 point game he took 63 shots and made 30% of them. He actually took just over 40 shots and he made over 50% of his shots.Now your saying MJ holds the record for asssits in a game and assists in a single season?He did neither. Scott Skiles holds the record for most assists in a game with 30. Jordan never had 20 assists in one game EVER. As for the most assists ina season I have no idea who holds that record but its not Jordan.

But seriously where IN THE HELL do you get your stats from?http://www.nba.com/playerfile/michael_jordan/MJ only had a career high of 17 assists.
Man you got to get your stats right. It is really making you look bad.But, I would choose Jordan because if it wasn't for him they wouldnt of won 30 or so last secound shot games. Not only that he was the best player to play the game. Wilt was a great player but Jordan was better all around.

There was some greats that played. Wilt came close to many championships, so it's not like he was never in the running.
Oh come on, he didn't have much competition at all at Center. let's face it, Wilt was just dominant back then and if he played when Jordan did he would only be a 25 and 12 guy.
MJ. Wilt was a full half foot taller than the average height for all other center in the league. MJ brought a new dimension to the game with his athleticism. He was probably as close to perfect as we might ever get. He was the most unstoppable offensive force the game has ever seen, always showed up in clutch, could play both offense and defense and be best in league at both, and his will and desire to win seperated him from everyone.
This is a very tough one, I've thought about it a lot. I have to take MJ, but it's very close. A great argument can be made for either player.

Wilt had the winning. He had the success.Then on the other end he had way better statistics than Jordan. The only reason he isn't regarded as the better player is because most fans don't remember him.And it wasn't a "shitty era."BTW, aren't you supposed to be a mod? Mods inforce inforce the rules, not break them.Read rule #2.
<Censored> isn't even that bad. Whatever, I will keep that in mind. Andhis staistics aren't that much over Jordan's. Jordan was slightly the better scorer per game throughout their careers. Wilt grabbed alot of boards but so would Jordan if he played at center in that era. And yes, Wilt's era was crappy compared to the people that Jordan was up against.
