You forgot John Hannah, widely regarded as the best offensive lineman to ever live.

Forrest Gump is from Greenbow

I don't agree with all of those, but I guarantee you that somebody from Alabama is the GOAT fricker.

You're getting a ton of shite, but for a state that size, I think that list is pretty damn impressive.

Unfortunately he was born in Georgia (and only played one year of HS ball in Alabama) and I'm keeping this to people born in the state. Otherwise I would have would Cam Newton, future football GOAT listed.

Hannah is definitely the GOAT offensive lineman though

Btw I would've also put Derrick Thomas as pass rushing GOAT if going to college here counted.

Upon further review, Ozzie Smith is indeed the GOAT defensive shortstop. Adding to the OP stat

Only Americans that don't follow soccer think Mia Hamm is the best female soccer player. Marta has been the GOAT for quite a while.


I'd rank Carli Lloyd above Mia Hamm.

I've seen it pointed out twice but it deserves more attention.

quote:

Jesse Owens, born in Oakville, AL - Track and Field GOAT

Carl Lewis, born in Birmingham, AL - modern Track and Field GOAT



If you have two people in the same sport as greatest of ALL TIME, you are probably too dumb to regard as having any credibility in making the list.

I'll be truthful, Alabama pound for pound probably has the greatest set of athletes factoring in the size of the state. I was just pointing out the amount of reaches in the OP.
