So it is rare that someone doesn't include Jordan in the top-two greatest players to play the game. According to Fox Sports' NBA analyst Nick Wright, Michael Jordan is the third greatest player of all time, behind LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Former LA Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma took to Twitter, bewildered by Wright placing MJ third. "This has to be the first list in mankind where MJ is number 3 lol," Kuzma wrote. While the top spot of the list is unconfirmed, it is likely LeBron James as his name is missing from the list.

What should also be kept in mind is that this list includes players who have played in the last 50 years. Hence, Wright omitted Jerry West, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain.

Wright's positioning of Hakeem Olajuwon a spot ahead of Shaquille O'Neal will also get people talking. The former won two championships, one by beating Shaq in the Finals. However, the Diesel is a four-time NBA champion with three Finals MVPs.

How many championships could Michael Jordan have won had he not retired

The wear and tear of the league took a toll on the great man, and he needed a respite from all of it. The Bulls organization in 1998, led by General Manager Jerry Krause, wanted new blood on the team. The organization wanted to change the coaching staff and bring in new players.

Jordan clarified that he wouldn't play for any other coach besides Phil Jackson. However, Krause and Jackson's relationship was so toxic at the time that there was no way the Zen Master could return.

https://t.co/HFfk3bQrzz Fans and analysts should also consider the competition Jordan would have faced during the years he was away from the game. Hakeem Olajuwon and his Houston Rockets peaked during Jordan's time in retirement, and the Orlando Magic were also more formidable with Shaq and Penny Hardaway. His Airness would have also gone up against the Tim Duncan-led San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers led by Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant in 1999.
