Bullish

Michael Jordan leads 15 other finalists for induction to the Basketball Hall of Fame.

He led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles, and he was named Most Valuable Player of the Finals six times. He was first in scoring for 1 seasons, seven of them in straight seasons. He had 30.1 points per game, the highest scoring average. We could go on and on, two Olympic golds blah blah, 14-time All-Star blah blah, but all we need to say is "greatest player of all time." 

The class will be inducted April 6 in Michigan. Other finalists include David Robinson, Dennis Johnson and coach Jerry Sloan.

But the one I'd like to see elected is John Stockton, who leads all-time in assists. He was an Olympian and he was an All-Star ten times.
