Last Monday’s piece, a review of long-time ESPN statistician Elliott Kalb’s book "Who’s Better, Who’s Best in Basketball" elicited quite a response from readers of this column. Aside from commenting on the heresy that Kalb — perhaps the foremost authority on NBA data in the world, foisted—many were guessing whom his greatest player in the history of basketball was.

So who is the greatest basketball player in the world, statistically and otherwise?

[Summary] => Ano? Hindi si Michael Jordan ang pinakamagaling na manlalaro sa kasaysayan ng basketbol? Pangatlo lang siya? At hindi makatotohanan ang ginawang paghirang ng NBA sa 50 nitong pinakamahusay? Talaga?

Iyan din ang naging reaksyon ko nang mabasa ko ang isang mabigat na aklat na puno ng pananaliksik sa basketbol mula pa noong simula nito.

Ang may-akda ay si Elliot Kalb, at may karapatan siyang magsalita. Si Kalb ay naging statistician ng ESPN at ABC ng mahigit dalawang dekada, at naging saksi sa daan-daang NBA playoffs.
