Pele, Sugar Ray Leonard and Ingemar Stenmark were the runner ups.

Gretzky looked like a small-town attorney.

But behind that small stature was one of the greatest athletes of all time, who was so intelligent at seeing the play unfold in a ridiculously fast sport that he was almost untouchable.

He'd be just as successful in this era.

Borg is/was an amazing athlete. He got off to a bad start in this race. I would have picked him to win.

That they arent runners, none of them. Great athletically in a certain sports doesn't make you fast. Gretzky isn't fast, but looked fast beating those plugs

Man, I keep watching this and either Gretzy got an amazing jump or he was a millisecond earlier than the gun.

My point is what you just typed. If maybe youde read the SUBJECT LINE, then youde know when I said Gretzky isn't fast, that is exactly my point.

So basically, you argued against yourself, and proved my point at the same time.

Thanks?

Stay in your lane. If you really want, go back and read. I only said he wasn't fast because he wasn't racing fast guys. Shiity sweater or whatever, felt the need to puke on and is actually the guy who started blabbing random shite about whatever. Not sure if his point, but then he posted literally the same thing I originally said.

I dont know, maybe he drinks a lot
