Wilt Chamberlain is the best player because he scored 100 points in one of his games.

He Averaged 45 points a games for a season have you seen Michael Jordan score over 65

NO! Wilt has scored the most point.Bill Russell because he has one 11 Nba Championships which is amazing so Michael Jordan is very overrated and not the best player in the world
it depends........

if your talking about in terms of what the nba considers the best, that being the biggest winner. i say the best player in basketball history is bill russel. BILL RUSSELL.

but in terms of overall skill and talent, man i hav no idea. MJ kobe, wilt c, pete maravich.

but the best player is no way lebron. im not a hater, i just know talent for basketball when i see it.What is the best basketball player in the world?
