Why he's below Jason Kidd: Mikan really only had 6 good seasons and retired before Russell or Wilt joined the league. His peak ended before Pettit joined the league. It's impossible to compare Mikan with almost any other great player because he wasn't competing against the best.
Why he's above the rest: In the first 6 years of his career, Mikan was 1st Team All-NBA 6 times, won 5 MVPs, and was the best player on 5 championship teams. That run is not likely to be beat anytime soon, if ever.
