That would give him 6 rings, 4 MVPs, and a perennial (for his time) All-Nba in both teams...
Could he be considered GREATER than, say, Larry Bird?
Could he considered a BETTER basketball player than Larry?

If by "greater" you mean "more decorated" or "more memorable" or that sort of thing, that's fine. But generally I think the key is who was the superior player on the court.
Steve Nash has more MVP awards than Hakeem Olajuwon or Oscar Robertson...if that means Nash is "greater," I don't think "greater" has much meaning, since Olajuwon and Robertson were far, far more valuable.
