Related: About this forumJohn Salley says Jordan not even his top 5 he played against
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/16/john-salley-says-jordan-not-even-his-top-5-he-played-against/Combine those to facts and you get John Sally on the ESPNs Colin Cowherd show saying that Michael Jordan is not even in the top five players Salley ever played against. He puts Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Hakeem Olajuwon above Jordan on the all-time list. Even Kevin McHale is higher on Salleys list. He thought Isiah Thomas was the best he ever played with and he was on a Jordan Bulls team.

I like it because MJ is always aware of what people say about him and always takes umbrage! He's not happy right now!

What a dumb ass

And removed McHale.

I know he never played with James, I was talking about saying who was better; ie wording it a bit different.

One of the best things about Jordan was the marketing behind him. I look at him as the best player ever but I know this is mainly because of the PR machine known as the NBA marketed him more then any other player.

I wonder why he is saying it though, I'm guessing because Cowherd asked him.
