Widely considered to be one of the greatest players of all time (lead)

Why just "one of the greatest" and not "the greatest"? לידך בלעדייך (talk) 07:51, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

A lot of people don't think he is. ~2026-25565-6 (talk) 06:10, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Change "Charlotte's original NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets" to "Charlotte's original NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets (now New Orleans Pelicans)" to clarify that the old Charlotte Hornets are not the same as the new Charlotte Hornets which are referenced earlier in the paragraph ~2026-25565-6 (talk) 06:15, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Change “Widely considered to be one of the greatest players of all time.” To “By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time”. This is the correct quote from the Michael Jordan Legends page at https://www.nba.com/news/history-nba-legend-michael-jordan which you have linked to the wrong quote. ~2026-95995-0 (talk) 13:51, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. Wiki has it wrong please check profile from NBA Legends ~2026-12239-21 (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

He is only one of the greatest. If he was the greatest, he'd not be in the debate w Lebron we can't rly add it Wcamp9 (talk) 21:46, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
The debate of goat is certainly more than two players. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:20, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
The "By acclamation" bit was a quote from the NBA.com source and really shouldn't have been added back to the article without the quotes. That's too close to the source for my comfort, and it's too strong a statement to make in Wikipedia's voice without having it as a quote (which does predate the vast majority of LeBron's career). For those reasons, I changed it back to the prior version. I don't have strong feelings about changing the sentence if sources support changing it, but I think this required a bit more deliberation than what happened here. In fairness, this bit is quite difficult to get right from a NPOV perspective, which is why such edits shouldn't be rushed. Giants2008 (Talk) 17:18, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
