Terrible list. Here's a better one.
1. Usain Bolt - Already GOAT
2. Michael Phelps - Already GOAT
3. Tiger Woods - Not a shot in hell at passing Jack, off the list
4. Lionel Messi - Don't follow soccer
5. Roger Federer - Has to be below Rafa
6. Serena Williams - Already GOAT
7. Rafael Nadal - Flip with Fed
8. Lebron James - Think he lost his chance but should still prob be on list
9. Cristiano Ronaldo - Don't follow soccer
10. Sebastian Vettel - I assume this is soccer?

I have to preface my list by saying I'm excluding people I currently think are the GOATs. Those would be Serena, Phelps, Bolt, Belichik.
I'd have em:
1. Brady - Wins one more and it's over. Continues to win 10 games for 4-5 more years and shatter every playoff record and could be over regardless.
2. Meyer - Not an athlete, but I think coaches should be on this list. He'll win a couple more at Ohio State IMO.
3. Watt - Non-QB position so SBs aren't a deciding factor. Most dominant player since Jim Brown and will surpass him at his current rate barring injury.
4. Lebron - Don't think he'll ever have the aura of Jordan, but he could potentially put together a better resume,
5. Rafa - Without injury he'd probably be my number 1 right now or possibly would already be the GOAT. With injuries and Djoker's rise it'll be tough, but I never count Rafa out.
6. AD - Will take a front office to surround him with some real talent, but you can't deny what he's done at such a young age. His potential is limitless. How he reacts in the playoffs is still to be seen, but he has to be on the list.
Not sure where I'd go from here.

Federer is the current GOAT. There is no questions asked. Most grand slam titles and most weeks at number 1

Jordan has 2 Slam Dunk Contest Championships...this is key to NBA GOAT status.

Lol.
Beating Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt = GOAT

You can easily argue that Brady already is.
Posted on 2/18/15 at 8:15 pm to FootballNostradamus
For starters, Roddick in his prime is a top 10 all time grass court player, he got absolutely screwed to have to be in the same era as the number 1 grass court player. Anyway, Fed also beat Nadal multiple times, djok multiple times, murray multiple times, Aggasi, and safin to round out his 17 grand slam titles

Without looking at your list, I thought of Brady first.

Tigerfan56, taking their careers into the discussion and Kobe has more titles, you would put Lebron ahead of him? Please explain. Kobe at his best was better than Lebron has ever been so far. Don't think its even a question. Lebron being a better athlete and talent doesn't make him a better basketball player. Ask former players who they take in their prime. Kobe would win that vote

Also, Messi is also tGOAT already IMO
