1 - Michael Jordan
2 - Muhammad Ali
3 - Tom Brady
4 - Babe Ruth
5 - Tiger Woods
6 - Wayne Gretzky
7 - Lionel Messi
8 - Michael Phelps
9 - Usain Bolt
10 - Roger Federer

Why would Jordan be above Gretzky? Gretzky is the GOAT of GOAT's. I'll also hear arguments for Ali.

Where is Colin Kaepernick? He gave up a HoF career for us. Literally died for our sins.

Nobody touches Gretzky in terms of team sport dominance. He is the GOATiest GOAT.

Why no Bill Russell? Team sport Brady / Russell won nothing alone.
Joe Louis? Undisputed HW Champ for 12 consecutive years. No 21 teammates to help him when he's tired & being punched in the face in rd 15.

Gretzky is no lower than 3

You have to limit it to the US, otherwise you are stuck with soccer guys like Pele, Maradona and Messi.
As far as the US goes, he's probably close. NFL is just a much bigger sport than anything else and he's the top dog.

and Messi over Pele? I love Messi but can you show me his 3 World Cup Medals? Better yet can you show me 1?
Brazil would have won in 1966, but Pele was injured and missed the WC.

Also, in terms of dominance over his contemporaries, Brady is 2nd to Jerry Rice in the NFL

Brady is, objectively, no better than several of his peers. The problem is that most sports fans are just mind numbingly stupid.

Tom Brady has more Super Bowls than any single team. I think that makes him the GOAT of all GOATs.

“Sportsman” he’s near the top, but not “athlete.”

Drew and Brady are statistically similar
You would have to add Brandin Cooks's career to Randy Moss's career to equal Jerry Rice's career

Not saying I agree or disagree, but do you think you could have plugged either Brees or Manning into Tampa Bay’s offense this year and it would still result in a Super Bowl win?
Personally I think Manning could, not sure about Brees. Brady’s longevity and how his body has held up are both almost more remarkable to me than his rings. Whatever weirdo diet of non-shadow casting gluten-free wheat grass and super model pussy TB12 subsists off of is clearly working for him.

Your list is garbage with no Joe Louis.

Why no Bill Russell?
Also, he played at a time when there were only 8 teams in the league and his team had the entire starting 5 plus a bench guy made the all-star team. That’s why he won so many titles. He had 6 hall of famers on his team in an 8-team league.
