Has anybody ever dominated their sport the way Wayne Gretzky dominated hockey?  

Giving credit where it's due despite being a fan of somebody or something else is a very tough thing to do, so I must applaud you for that. I hesitate sometimes to compare Jordan to Gretzky because I don't know how much he dominated. I am a hardcore hockey fan and I know all of hockey history. I follow basketball, but know little about what happened before I was born.

There are certain records that I don't believe are held by Jordan which make me wonder, was he truly the greatest? I do believe so, but then I wonder why he doesn't show it in the record books as well. I guess 30.1 points per game over his whole career is remarkable, especially given how broken it was, but Chamberlain did the same while averaging 22.9 rebounds per game.

I think what made Jordan admired so much, is that in the fourth quarter, no matter the score, he thought he could win the game, and most of the time he did. He won 6 championships with arguably some of the best competition NBA basketball had ever seen. The Pistons back in Isiah's day, the Blazer's, the list goes on. But yes, I would concede Gretzy had more individual goal achievements. I think there were so may variables with Jordan, but Gretzy... I mean, even if a person had never seen hockey, they KNEW the name of Wayne Gretzy. That's a universal accomplishment.

Jordan did have the same thing going for him. Knew basketball or not, you knew Jordan. I guess you're right. Comparing Chamberlain to Jordan is like comparing one-eyed McGee to Gretzky. They dominated their era, but only because they were ahead of their times.

What kind of records does he hold?

Can you put them into perspective with other people's performances?
