Like I said before, Scotty Pippen. A lot of people claim that he is the reason that Micheal Jordan won 6 championships. Pippen was another role player in a team built around MJ, just like Horace Grant, Bill Cartwright, Steve Kerr, etc. Also, Phil Jackson's triangle offense really works well with explosive players like Micheal Jordan and Kobe Bryant. The triangle offense, didn't work well when Pippen was trying to carry the team.
Being a Knicks Fan, I used to be a big time MJ hater. I love to hate, hate, hate on MJ because he is one of the main reasons that the Knicks couldn't reach the finals. However, the Bulls were not the same when he retired the first time. I became really impressed with him when he came back from playing baseball and winning 3 straight championships again. After that, I had to admit that Jordan was the greatest basketball player ever. Gone are the "Scotty Pippen", Cartwright/Oakley trade, etc. theories.

Ron Harper, was the "next Jordan" untill he got hurt.
Robinson,Came no where near the hype he had.
Camby, is good for a a few blocks and then he's out the rest of the year.
L.Johnson, I'll also give you

If you're gonna say Michael Jordan is overrated than you should also make a case for Bill Russell being the most overrated player of all time.
Your critique should sound like this:
Russell played alongside Bill Sharman, Bob Cousy, Frank Ramsey, Tommy Heinsohn, Sam Jones, KC Jones, John Havlicek, Bailey Howell, Don Nelson.....
What does it matter that he won 8 straight titles and 11 overall he couldn't even average 15 points per game when Wilt The Stilt was pouring in 50 plus!
Bum was a real liability from the foul line too.

Bill Russell would be a role player in todays game. He would be alot like the current ben wallace, not ben wallace in his prime.
