Top 3 players in NBA history.

The criteria that I will be ranking the top 3 players will be: Points per game,Points in career, Assists per game, Assists in career, Rebounds per game, Career blocks, Free throw percentage, Field goal percentage, games played (minimum of 800), MVP's and of course Championships won.

1) Michael "His Airness" Jordan
Michael Jordan single handedly turned the Chigago Bulls into a dynasty and a powerhouse for many years. His career stats are inpeccable: PPG - 30.1, Pts - 32,292, APG - 5.3, Ast - 5,633, RPG - 6.2, Blks - 893, FT% - 83.5, FG% - 49.7, GP - 1,072, MVP's - 5, Championships won - 6. There's a reason why they call him the greatest off all time, and just for a bonus stat, he is a 2 time olympic gold medalist.

2) Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain
Wilt Chamberlain was the most dominant player of his time as a LA Laker. His ability to score and rebound at will makes him 2nd place. Just take a look at his amazing stats: PPG - 30.1, Pts - 31,419, APG - 4.4, Ast - 4,643, RPG - 22.9, Blks - N/A, FT% - 51.1, FG% - 54, GP - 1,045, MVP's - 4, Championships won - 2. Wilt "The Stilt" was still able to put those incredible numbers up, even though he would be double or triple teamed every game. Just for a bonus stat, his career high in points in a game was 100 points.

3) Larry "Legend" Bird
Larry Bird was known as a great all round player for the Boston Celtics, but he was mostly known for his remarkable shooting beyond the arc. He was so good at shooting that during practice he would shoot with his eyes closed. His career stats: PPG - 24.3, Pts - 21,791, APG - 6.3, Ast - 5,695, RPG - 10, Blks - 755, FT% - 88.6, FG% - 49.6, GP - 897, MVP's - 3, Championships won - 3. Larry "Legend" Bird was the franchise player during the Boston Celtics dynasty and his numbers don't lie, which is why he was ranked #3. A bonus stat for Larry is that he as well is an Olympic gold medalist.
