Good pick. Fucking stud right there....


Hard to say one guy was the "greatest" athlete of all time. I have several picks...

Barry Sanders - I feel fortunate to have seen him play.

Jerry Rice - Look up work ethic, Jerry's picture will bet next to the definition. The man was a Legend among boys.

Barry Bonds - Like him or not, he is arguably the best player of his generation. Even pre-drugs.

Michael Jordan - What can you say? Another legend who played among greats, and still managed to stand above.

Lots of others, but those are off the top of my head.

Maradona, Pele, Jordan, Ali, Carl Lewis, Woods, Bo Jackson, Gretsky, Jackie Robinson.......all considered the greatest in some shape or form.....be it athleticism, talent, dominance, cultural impact, achievement.....

But when all things are considered, there is one who sits at the very top.......

I'll give you a hint

Pele didn't win three world cups on his own. He didn't carry the team like Maradona did. Without Pele Brazil was still the best team. Without Maradona Argentina wasn't. And there are certainly not 20 players at his level. That's absurd.

  The one thing that all these guys have in common is that they are American and played American sports that no one outside the U.S cares about. How can one be proclaimed the best athete if one plays a sport that only 4% of the World's population cares about?

Far more dominant, far more goals and pulled off much harder goals than Maradona ever could.

  Pelé made goals from mid field, from the corner, with his ankle, doing a bicycle, he made goals where he made the ball curve to pass through the goal keeper, etcetera. You are obviously Argentinean. No way no how is Maradona in the same league as Pelé. Maradona was fantastic and the second best ever, and the gap between him and number 3(whoever it is) is enormous, but the gap between him and Pelé is also enormous. Maradona is in a league of his own far above all other plyers except Pelé, and Pelé is in a league of his own far above Maradona. Understand now?

  And strengh and size are not the sole determinants of athletic prowess. The average 350 lbs NFL linebacker can barely run for more than a minute without risking a heart attack, and their bodyfat is as high as 20%. I know that you probably identify with them because you're also fat. ;)
