Michael Jordan vs. Dominique Wilkins

We can start with two of the greatest dunkers and all-around players to ever enter the game: Michael Jordan vs. Dominique Wilkins.

Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins were indeed two of the best players to enter the game of basketball. Both had the crossover, moves that on the court made other player’s groove, dunks that made the crowd go super wild and crazy, and they both were the captains and leaders for their teams. They also had a sort of competition against each other too.  For example, these two guys went head to head in the dunk contest of the 97 and 88 time periods. “Who came out on top?” Is what you might be thinking, right? It was Mr. Air Jordan doing his special move, jumping from half court and air jordaning it in to the basket.  As always Michael and Dominique was always a trill to watch during regular session game especially rivalry games Michael who had career stats of 32,292 points with 30.1 per game and Dominique Wilkins who had 7,169 rebounds for his career stats and 25 points a game. Both of them were good and incredible players but one stood out the best. If you ask me who stood up on top I would go with Mr. Air Jordan and I didn’t pick him because people said he is the greatest basketball player, I picked. Jordan because of all the achievements and how he practice hard, build his own shoes empire, went out and made videos on helping people to get better in their game and  was one of the 12 players to score over 25,000 point in their nba career. Plus name any basketball player who can go play baseball and wasn’t that good but the fans, teammates, and his coach still supported him. Don’t get me wrong doe I still liked Dominique Wilkin because he wasn’t just a great dunker he also was a great team leaders, was instrumental to the Hawks' success in the late 1980s as the club recorded 50 wins in four straight seasons from 1985-86 to 1988-89.also he had set an a NBA record by sinking 23 free throws without a miss. Also last but not least like Jordan was one of the 12 players to score over 25,000 point in their NBA career. Now I want to know from you guys who you think was better?
