Edit: and at Serena in discussion as best ever. You young pups can be dumb as a sack of rocks, but entertainingly dumb though


Refute my selection for Serena under the alien test, and then present your own argument.

Why would a publication like SI devote three pages to a discussion on whether Serena is the best ever if it ws such a nonsensical proposition?

The "alien test" is not exactly a perfect formula for discussing best ever. Actually a bunch of bullshite. Seles in her prime rips Serena a knew one. Graf, Everett, Martina do as well. Put Serena with their equipment and she is toast.

Simple stats like most wins, most finals, most semis, weeks at #1, etc is easy enough to discuss one's history. Primes? I'll take all four I mentioned over Serena all day every day.

SI is not the sports bible of the universe. Maybe they wrote the article feeling the need to have a black woman in the discussion simply because of race. You know, tennis is a "white" sport. They feel the need to throw her in there out of fairness.
