Jordan played in the NBA for fifteenseasons, during which he was crowned with
unprecedented influence and various miracles, makinghimself the first person in history. Since
the nineteen nineties, Jordan has ruledthe league for nearly ten years, and
since then his historical position has consistentlyranked first in history. Jordan entered the
NBA in nineteen eighty four, andbefore him, the NBA had a history

(00:23):
of thirty eight years. The leaguealso had historical superstars such as Rick Berry,
Doctor j and Moses Malone. BeforeJordan, the league did not lack
superstars, so if there were superstars, there would definitely be the league's face
players, and they all ruled theleague separately. So in the thirty eight
years of history before Jordan, whoruled the NBA, we have the answer

(00:47):
Today. Chamberlain is indeed very rebellious, but his dominance is more In the
regular season, he scored one hundredpoints per game and averaged fifty point four
points per season, all of whichare regular seasons. In the playoffs,
Chamberlain is not that clueless. Hehas only won two championships and one FMVP
in his career, so he cannotbe considered to have ruled the league,

(01:11):
he was just a superstar at thetime and his rule was not even significant.
Therefore, to say that before Jordan, the superstars who ruled the league
must be the following three. DotBill Russell. Russell entered the NBA three
years earlier than Chamberlain, and heled the team to win the championship in
his rookie season with terrifying dominance.Russell won eleven championships in thirteen seasons,

(01:34):
five MVPs and four rebounding championships.Throughout the nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies,
the league belonged to the Celtics andRussell was the absolute core of the team.
Facing Chamberlain, Russell is not ata disadvantage and his rebounding ability is
also quite incredible. Russell was justtoo strong and after his retirement, the

(01:57):
league specially established the FMV Award tothank Russell for his contribution to the league,
which shows how much influence he hadin the entire league at that time.
Dot Jabbar Jabbar known as Tian Goh, was the top pick in nineteen
sixty nine. During his rookie season, he was selected for two plays and
two defenses and his debut was athis peak. In his twenty years in

(02:20):
the NBA, he has won sixchampionships, six MVP titles and two scoring
and four blocking championships. His uniqueskill of heavenly hook is the Mingsan alliance
and it is said that this moveof heavenly hook has only been defeated five
times. In twenty years, Jabbarhas created his historic scoring King miracle with
a stable score and extremely high attendancerate, a record that has been held

(02:44):
for thirty years. In the nineteenseventies and nineteen eighties, the league belonged
to Jabbar and his strength was notinferior to that of the later four great
centers Dot Johnson. The NBA ofthe Black and White duo era was truly
exciting, with Bird and Johnson leadingthe way in a super giant Eastern and
Western showdown. It was also becauseof these two duels that the NBA in

(03:06):
the nineteen eighties was exciting. However, Johnson is obviously stronger and his rookie
season with the FMVP cannot be broken. There are also five championships, three
fmvps and three MVPs. As apoint guard with four assists, and two
steals. Johnson was the founder ofthe Showtime moment. In the Maingjen League,

(03:28):
Jordan won his first MVP of hiscareer in nineteen eighty eight, and
it was only then that he ruledthe league. Prior to that, the
league belonged to Magic Johnson for eightyears
