Michael Jordan is the most decorated basketball player of all time. He has a perfect 6-0 finals record and has never seen a game 7 in the NBA Finals. Jordan is widely recognized as the GOAT and there is a solid case to be made for that.
He is the only person to ever win 6 Finals MVPs. Every time Jordan played a full season from his 3rd year to his last year with the Bulls he won a scoring title. That makes a total of 10 scoring titles during his career. Only Wilt comes close with 7. Apart from these two no one else has more than 4.
