Gen X seems to clear pretty easily
Jordan
Tiger
Brady
Williams sisters and Sampras
Bonds
Zidane or Ronaldinho
Jagr or Lemieux
Soccer and tennis are the only spots millennials are clearly ahead and Fed is kind of on the borderline age wise

Millennials clearly win given they have the GOATs across every major sport
Djokovic
Ohtani
Mahomes
Lebron
Ronaldo
Pretty indisputable

Jordan and Bonds are technically Boomers, although when paired with Gretzky and either Rice or Montana, that generation has a great argument. Lacking in the other sports though, a bit.
The “generation” analysis in sports is kinda weird anyway though, because it should probably be more about the years of the athletes’s peak/relevancy, not about their literal birth year. But even in that case, Jordan’s Bulls career was over when Tiger had only one major and before Brady was drafted. Likewise, thinking of Montana as the same generation as Bonds is a little weird.

Jordan and Bonds are boomers
Since we’re on that…
Basketball - Jordan
Football - Montana/Rice
Baseball - Bonds
Hockey - Gretzky
Tennis - Borg/Navratilova
Soccer - Maradona
Golf - Watson
ETA…Buckeye beat me to it

best from each sport is probably gen x.
if you go a couple deep at each sport, i think it's millennials by a wide margin
eta:
upon further review, it's millennials

But mate you have seen Ohtani and also captain America Aaron judge thus you have no need to see babe

Seeing THE JUDGE play is indeed historic every night. Being able to bear witness to the greatest right handed hitter in history is indeed tantalizing viewing. The Punisher setting records and collecting accolades in his already unanimous first ballot hall of fame career are the things we will tell our grandkids of. What Shohei Ohtani is doing is also impressive. However THE BABE still clears.

Folks are starting to connect dots and view the 80’ and 90’ rationally. The public is and will continue to shift towards Lebron.
