in other news, jordan 7's re-released next month. never had those, will buy when they're out.

Let me know if you hear about future re-releases of the Jordan 4 - the best shoe ever made. I bought 4 pairs when the re-released 'em the first time in 1999, but I'm down to one last boxed pair. Need to restock.

this guy. Not the best basketball player, or hockey player, or football player, etc. The best athlete of all-time.

That was a great fuckin' vid.

Tough to name the greatest ever, but two other names that should be kicked around -- Lance Armstrong and Walter Payton.

Who is this dude?

On Jordan, I believe Jordan is probably the only individaul to totally dominate the team collective minds and the player he was against. He wanted to not just beat the team and the player, but he would not sacrifice beating the player and losing the game. In those terms he in fact owned the NBA collectively. If it were not for him and Nike's strategic packaging and marketing of him, the NBA would not be as popular as it is and Nike would not have the billions of dollars in revenue that it generates to day.

Nobody else comes close.

umm
youre right,, i was about to say there are 2 but youre right,, michael jordan was the best athlete the world has ever seen followed closely by diego armando maradona

both of them made you watch games only because trhey played and not for any other reason ,,meaning you would stop anything you do when they got on the field and do nothing but watch ,, they were the best ever

the reason i give it to michael jordan is simply because he was class act from beggining to end and simply put,, the nba became nothing since he left as of today there is still football more or less theree was vanbasten and zidan and there is messy and there is still some level of football ,,when it comes to baskerball ...the game died since michael jordan left ,,none of the player shakil kobe briant all those wanna bes cant play nothing they are all generation nothingness playing against other who belong in this generation

thats why michael jordan is the best athlete to ever born on planet earth

mj15 approved

the only reason he was "good" was because he could jump high, had an unstoppable jumpshot, could score a lot, and didn't buckle under pressure.

other than that, he's no better than your typical high school player.

in other news, jordan 7's re-released next month. never had those, will buy when they're out.

I always have liked the Jordan 5's, Jordan 6's, and Jordan 7's myself...Which are the best

carl lews was drafted by teh bulls in the same year as Jordan but did only a few trainings sessions because he was not good enough for the nba
at the same time jordan hat nearly the same vertical as lewis plus the little things you can t train as 10 inch hands

Jordan was the greatest especially on a commercial view

Jim Thorpe

Jim Brown makes a better choice also

Jordan may have been th best BASKETBALL player

I agree Jordan may have been the best Ball player but as far as being the greatest athlete....
Everyone forgets about this guy..

Carl Lewis = 9 Olympic Gold Medals.

To be honest its impossible to say who the greatest athlete ever was...certainly I'd say the best known was probably michael jordan, since countries that didn't even play Basketball all knew him. It's a bit of a silly question in all fairness...

In terms of the dude that most inspired me, its gotta be Michael Johnson...hell the guy coulda shot up an orphanage and I still would think he was god.

It was an 'honorary' draft based on his popularity and success at the time....it wasn't for real bro.

Wow. I guess everyone in the last 3 pages of this thread really got off topic. Baseball players don't count since Baseball is not even a sport. It's a pastime. lol. Most of them are fatasses anyways.

carl louis is third place behind maradona which is behind jordan <---- Retarded post alert.

Spell the athlete's name correctly at least. lol
Maradonna is a fat drug addict, Lewis was the most successful Track and Field Athlete ever. Jordan was a great Basketball player. This doesn't make him the best Athlete ever.
