The responses are hysterical.  You guys have all picked individuals who can't even stand on their hands, not only are these not the greatest athletes of all time, they lack even basic physical mastery.

So what if he can stand on his hands or do a flip? Doesn't mean he can even throw a baseball properly.
He's the best gymnast (maybe), not necessarily athlete.

so being able to stand on your hands is what makes someone the greatest of all time?  Great..... lets see that midget dunk a basketball on somebody, run a 40, throw a football 70yds in the air,take one single hit from an NFL safety,  etc...

he didnt ask for "all 'round"- as in ability to use all physical facets- although jordan would go close.

the gymnasts you show cannot kick a ball, or have not displayed any skills in terms of hand /eye coordination, plus the competition pool for them is far smaller than that of basketball for instance.

all you could really do is list the best in each sport, then argue what each sport represents.

BB doesnt use kicking for instance
NFL doesnt allow players to perform a whole bunch of skills- so its no good including that sport.

same for baseball...it excludes itself.

T&F could really only include the decathlon.
Soccer excludes itself for many reasons

gymnastics would be in, basketball would also, AFL and Gaelic football would be in, ice hockey also in, MMA arguably in also, pentathlon in also, water polo in, ..you get the idea..

unfortunately your NFL comparison doesnt hold water as the skills you are mentioning dont come from a single player.

a QB runs a so so 40, and rarely takes any hit at all.

all they do is throw a ball...big deal.

the world dart's champion is on the same plane as a QB.

No, you have no clue, gymnastics usually involves bodyweight movements...and many gymnastic moves are easily replicated, I used to take gymnastics as kid, flipping all over the place, uneven bars, pole vaulting...

Now, the chinese, they are "manufactured" from a early age...if they eff up, that's something will be really felt...remember it is still a Communist country.

Furthermore, it's not a negro thing, it is a training thing, that is what seperates them, like what seperates you from actually being a Great MMA fighter...training

The point is there are many gymnasts ,basketball players ,soccer players ....etc. out there playing everyday   but to be an Olympic gold medalist takes a little bit more than just mentality ,these guys are elite athletes.

BTW, that wouldn't be Tyrone aka EagleMan? He could glide in the air like a Eagle soaring, had a mean 360, to bad he got sent upstate. He was better than Jordan (aren't they all)

you make no point what so ever, yes anyone can do gymnnasstics, anyone can do Any sport... Point being?

did you reach olympic level ? In all events?

wtf pole vaulting? thats not what we were talking about..

olympic gymnasstics especially Overall  are probably the hardest thing to replicate.

take Rings for example.. or Pommel horse or Vault....

you make no point what so ever, yes anyone can do gymnnasstics, anyone can do Any sport... Point being?

did you reach olympic level ? In all events?

wtf pole vaulting? thats not what we were talking about..

olympic gymnasstics especially Overall  are probably the hardest thing to replicate.

take Rings for example.. or Pommel horse or Vault....

and who said it was a ngero thing? cant recall alot of black people in the olypic finals in gymnastics?
There hae been many there was black dude on the 2000s O team, and then there was Dominique Dawes, a hottie with a body...

I did make a point...my point was that they, regardless of who they are are not really, that diff. For instance, your ass could be a top level MMA fighter, had you not wasted your years on here and other things, but yet part of it is the way you were brought up.

All gymnast do the same thing, and are judged, in a subjective manner...all those moves  can be replicated, as they they always have, and always will be. What seprates the best from the res, is when they break thru and shit that has not been done, nor replicated.
The Olympics has become nothing more than a medal race---which equates to a pissing match between Communism v West, it was like that during the Cold War, and State run.

And no, I didn't compete, I had other interests, like birds, nature, BMX bikes and shit

I shake my head at your ignorance...

Many black men don't go into gymnastics, because, well they are not exposed to it, and some think it is not cool. And there is no money in it. China is very homgenous country, and they as Communist country have factories where all these kids do is one thing, the best get pick to be on the O teams.

It has nothing to do with blacks, Chinese, whatever. Read what I said, what they do was replicated before and will be again, stard things they do, and they are judged on how well they do them.

You best not be trolling, I hope you are far smarter than this.

No dumb shit I said swimming,
I said that ther have been many on O teams, and just because you gave clips of a few  from the the 2008, doesn't mean there weren't any...due to Dominque Dawes presence, there have been a number of black girls involved in the O teams...

Now. that is the last I gonna comment, because this about athletes and not you trolling ,  how about you actually try and be the first short Swede do something in MMA? Instead of watching others do it.

It's not that hard being a great gymnast, even those "ghetto workout" dudes could  do it , with the right training...so, if Rashad in the ghetto can compete with a Chinese gymnast, I'd say you'd need to sratch that from your list.

What makes you think that?  I'm a member of the Barbarians and Zef is probably the strongest current practitioner of what you call the "ghetto workout" and he is nowhere close to the strength of a world class gymnast, let alone the agility coordination or balance levels.

he didnt ask for "all 'round"- as in ability to use all physical facets- although jordan would go close.

the gymnasts you show cannot kick a ball, or have not displayed any skills in terms of hand /eye coordination, plus the competition pool for them is far smaller than that of basketball for instance.

all you could really do is list the best in each sport, then argue what each sport represents.
BB doesnt use kicking for instance
NFL doesnt allow players to perform a whole bunch of skills- so its no good including that sport.

same for baseball...it excludes itself.

T&F could really only include the decathlon.
Soccer excludes itself for many reasons

gymnastics would be in, basketball would also, AFL and Gaelic football would be in, ice hockey also in, MMA arguably in also, pentathlon in also, water polo in, ..you get the idea..


I don't think you can definitively say who the absolute best athlete is for all sports. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
