best basketball player of all time?

Allan Houston is essentially the greatest role player ever, not the greatest player ever. He might have the smoothest jump shot too. But it seemed as if he was always a second tier player.
But i'm tied up in this one.
On one hand i have the man who averaged 30.1 ppg and 22.9 rpg, something that will never be done again, Wilt the Stilt, facing triple teams even, not even Shaq was more dominant than him. Not only the 100 point game but im not sure which season, probably the same season as that, he scored 4,000 points in one season. I mean who the fuck does that. To think of it he averaged the scoring title his whole career.
"The choice is obvious, and I'm glad you put him on this poll. It's Allan Houston.
17.3 points per game, a .444 field goal percentage, an .863 free throw percentage, and a two-time All-Star."
MJ averaged 30.1 ppg (as wilt did also), had a .497 fg% and his ft% was a slight lower at .835. Besides being a multiple(14 time, pshh 2) all-star he is a six time champion. Forget injury, he quit his game in his prime, but came back to win again, so he defeats more odds if you ask me. Ten scoring titles, 7 in a row, he was a legend on the court. Not only do MJ' numbers oust Allan Houston as the greatest player were not even looking at what he did for basketball, he made it globabl, he saved it pretty much. Barkley says himself basketball is around because of Michael. Michael Jordan has to be the obvious choice, Magic Johnson even said some shit like "There is the rest of us, and then there is Michael", or something like that, one of the greatest to do it recognize him as the greatest. MJ.

Houston as best basketball player? LMFAO. That has to be the funniest mistake ever said in sports. Best basketball player ever is Michael Jordan hands down. It doesnt matter what perfection of stats Houston put up. MJ scored over 30 a game and won his team 6 championships. Not only did he dominate individually he actually completed goals. Bein an all-starr every year, MVP, top 50 players, hall of fame... everything. It was Jordan who was dunking on Ewing and shovin it up Spike Lee's ass when he was killn dem in the playoffs by himself.. with Allen in his so-called "prime".
these votes pretty much prove my point, Houston is better than Magic Johnson by a long shot
sure, these guys might have the NBA rings, but Allan Houston has a college champinship ring, much more elusive because its 64 teams and not the 16 to 20-odd teams in the NBA in the 60s/70s
*(although i know Magic has a college ring too)
