Nope but he would be the greatest scorer ever, to be the greatest player in a sport you need to win a championship. Statistics only tell half of the story when it comes to ranking players.
Ron Francis has more points then Mario Lemieux, Steve Yzerman, and Joe Sakic, do you think that he is a better player than all those guys?
Ask Dan Marino if people see him as the greatest quarterback ever, he is probably the most talented but not the greatest because he never won a championship.
Performing in big games when it counts is what separates the great players from the legendary players.
