NOW, this is silly.  First of all, Bill Russell is obviously the greatest player.
MJ only has to win 6 for titles to equal Russ's total.

But I particularly object to the "always will be" part of your post.  If there
is one thing I have learned it is that another great player is just around the bend.
Dr J was great, MJ was greater.  Willie Mays was great, Jr. may be greater.  Gordie
Howe was great, Gretsky was greater.  Within the next 15-20 years some player will
emerge who can do things that MJ only dreamed of.  It is the way of things.
