For years the media and fans have made unfair comparisons between young, athletic prospects and Michael Jordan, deemed one of the greatest players ever to play in the NBA. The list is a long one, though it can be hard to determine whether any of those youngsters have come close to Air Jordan.

It's important to understand just how good Michael Jordan was. It's true that he didn't win his first title until Scottie Pippen came along, but he was no slouch even before that. As a rookie, Jordan averaged 28.2 ppg, 6.5 rbpg and 5.9 apg, while shooting 51.5% from the field and 84.5% from the line. No one on the list below can boast of those percentage even in their best season. In 1988-1989, Jordan averaged 32.5 ppg and a whopping 8.0 rbpg and 8.0 apg to go along with nearly 3 spg. In that season, he shot an incredible 53.8% from the field and 85% from the line.
