You'll never get a Chicago fan to agree with you on that.

It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Jordan was a great basketball player (probably the best ever), but if he was such a great athlete, why wasn't he a good baseball player?
Jim Brown, Jackie Robinson and Bob Gibson, among others all excelled in two or more sports.And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?". t s eliotComment

Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders, as well. Deion could play all over the field in football.Originally posted by Supr49er View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

He didn't tackle, period. He made the statement that he wasn't paid to tackle. Great coverage back, but seriously, doesn't that statement put "half-ass" in your thoughts?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Half-assed and still had a Hall of Fame career? Sounds like he deserves the greatest athlete title.Originally posted by SlowwHand View Post
He was a return man, played DB and WR and ran the ball a few times, he played baseball... Deion did it all. Stop hating, Sloww, just because you don't like a dude's personality. If we're shifting this in favor of multi-sport athletes, Deion is there."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

I'm not shifting it. I don't think it's hating to say he refused to tackle, wasn't much of a baseball player but excelled as a cover CB.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Deion Sanders got steamrolled by a quarterback, Dave Brown, of the Giants.
ACK!

I'd argue that the best player may not be the most athletic player. When I think of Wayne Gretzky, I am more amazed by his awareness and precision than his speed and agility and toughness.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui View Post
Classic example: Tiger vs Jack. I think it'd be impossible to argue that Jack is more athletic than Tiger but I certainly think he's a better golfer, which either says something about golf, or the importance of athleticism in golf."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

I haven't read every post, so if I missed something, I apologize.
Are you talking about Tiger Woods as relates to Jack Nicklaus? That Jack kicks Tiger's ass.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Absolutely, but I think it's inarguable that Tiger is in better shape and physically more fit than Jack.Originally posted by SlowwHand View Post"I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

Based on the choices given I would still go with Jordan, but if we open it up and are talking about best athlete, then I would go with Jim Thorpe. He proved he was good at multiple sports. I do wonder how good Walter Payton was at other sports.Comment
