No. Kobe Bryant will be.
And you have never heard of Wilt Chamberlain?
Wilt "wilted" typically under pressure in the same way LeBron seems to today. Putting up great numbers against mediocre players isn't all that impressive per se versus putting up great performances against the top echelon, especially when it matters most.
Wilt barely would make the top 5 all-time as a result. And that would be mostly because they kept changing the rules because he was doing all sorts of unprecedented things (like chasing down his own missed free-throws as alley-oops to himself leading to the lane violation).
If you were going to pick someone from that era, Bill Russell would be acceptable. There's at least an argument for him surpassing Jordan in a way that almost nobody takes Wilt seriously. Kareem even has a case that Wilt doesn't.
Oh and who would have thunk that we would hear from the self-proclaimed expert on everything about the (to me, at least) totally useless sport of basketball?
If it is totally useless to you, why would you have an opinion in the first place? Better still, why would it be worth listening to or reading it? It is unlikely to be an informed and useful thought if you don't care about the subject in the first place.
Generally speaking, if you don't know anything, and don't care to, why say anything at all?
