Jordan was hype? You never saw him play live. If he had players who could hit an open shot more often he'd be the career leader in assists. Kobe is hype. Shaq is has-been hype. I could make a case for Jabbar, however.
Hockey, perhaps Gretzky, or Orr, ( I like the way that looks), Esposito; not Lemieux??, not even a mention?? Lots of others.
Any of the "best" in sports took what the previous stars showed was possible and built on it. That's the mark of greatness. To take what the superlative talent was and add to it.
