I’m a Jordan fanboy but Djoker 3 more seasons like he has been having and I’ll listen.  
I think everyone knows my feelings about Jokic, but it's MJ all the way.

It’s Jokic, but it shocks me that Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson aren’t listed here,  because they are both top five offensive players all-time.  

Agree with Oscar, but my vote goes to Wilt.  Other overlooked offensive juggernauts are David Thompson, Kareem and George Gervin.

Hard to argue with a guy who scored 100 points. I think I’d also put Olajuwon just outside of the top 10.

Not just scored 100, but averaged 50 a game that season sandwiched between two seasons in which he averaged 40+ ppg. Plus he lead the league in total assists one year after averaging 7.8 assist per game the prior season.

Yeah, it’s hard to even compare Wilt to modern era players because the numbers are so mind boggling.

True, but not as if he played against a great defensive center very often during the early days. Oh wait, the Celtics did have this one big guy who was pretty decent on the defensive end of the court......

I am going with Chamberlain. 

30.1 points per game. 22.9 rebounds per game. 4.4 assists per game.

As for the competition of Boston, yes his teams lost 7 of 8 series to Boston.

In those series (49 games) Chamberlain averaged, 30.5, 33.6, 29.2, 30.1, 28.0, 21.6, 22.1 & 11.7 points and 27.5, 26.9, 27.6, 31.4, 30.2, 32.0, 25.1 & 25.0 rebounds.

Give him today's healthcare, training, travel, nutrition, etc, and Chamberlain is a damned freak. He averaged 54% shooting from the floor and 45.8 minutes per game.

At a very close second is Michael Jordan.
