Should the NBA retire the number 23 for all teams? Options

Yes

name 1 player thats better

magic, bird, wilt, kareem, bill russell, dr. j, kobe, lebron, isiah, guaranteed they all think MJ is the best

Can you really say Kobe and Lebron are better, though? Lebron's still a rookie, comparatively speaking, and neither of them have gotten to the peak of their careers.

MJ is one of the greatest, don't get me wrong, but I don't think his number should be retired for the entire league. If he had stayed retired the second time instead of messing up his legacy by being a douche during his time with the Wizards, maybe I'd feel differently.

never said they was, i just given player names that could've contented for the best player title, even though i forgot to put jerry west

personally, i feel his number should for various reasons. There is literally nothing he hasn't accomplished that he set himself out to do. Slam Dunk Champ, 14 time all star, defensive player of the year, 9-time all defensive team, 10-time first team, 6 rings, 5 finals MVP, 5 MVPs, highest scoring average in his career by any player

and this is coming from a 2-guard

not to mention everything he does that doesn't involve stats, you think when his teammates f*ck up, he doesn't bark in their ear and make sure they don't f*ck up again? or the fact that he's probably the most clutch player ever at the last seconds, free throw line dunk?

he not only transcends the sport of basketball, but also as a competitor
