For example, while Michael Jordan ranks 5th in Win Shares, he ranks first in Win Shares per 48 minutes played, an indication that on a per-minute basis, he was the greatest player in NBA history, but he didn\u2019t appear in as many games as the players ahead of him.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Join our Sports Reference Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3><strong><em>Of Statheads:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stathead.com\/sport\/basketball\">Subscribe to Stathead<\/a>, the most powerful research tools in sports, and find any player, team, season, game, and any play.
