The Statement was not "the greatest", but rather "one of the greatest."
Amongst canadian athletes, he certainly is one of the greatest of all time.
One of the greatest of all time, period, across all sports - of course that's questionable.
One of the greatest BASKETBALL players of all time, perhaps, depending on how you want to define it. You can make a very good case for him being the best pure shooter of all time in basketball. He's also third all time in assists. Definately, he's one of the greatest basketball players of all time, on the offensive side of the equation. Defensively he's not as good, and having no championships hurts his case. He's definately going to be a first ballot NBA Hall of Famer.
