Bill Walton: Michael Jordan was 'basically average'

Posted Feb 13, 2015
Bill Walton has been known to have an eccentric thought or two, but his latest comments about Michael Jordan reach another level of ridiculous. Walton said Michael Jordan, who is almost unanimously regarded as the best basketball player of all-time, wasn't even a top-three player. Then, perhaps just as ludicrous, Walton suggested Jordan was "basically average" in regards to his "size, strength, speed and jumping ability." (FOX Sports)
