Basketball is/should be undisputed as well. Its Jordan.

The only people who say otherwise are idiots on TD who are too young to have seen Jordan play.

So basketball and hockey.

I am older than most posters as I keep getting reminded. Bobby Orr was great but Number 99 is the man.

But who was the best running back? Jim Brown was the toughest SOB but he was power while Emmitt was both speed and power. Barry Sanders had the moves and shiftiness. Bo was the best all around athelete but Herschel was the man in college.

I'm no soccer expert, but I'd have to think with what Messi is doing right now that he'd have to be giving Pele some competition

I'm sure some old hockey fans would bring up Gordie Howe, too.

My posts are so nice I have to say them twice.

Also I often post from places that have sketchy network access...

I think I would take his two contemporaries out of Oklahoma State over Emmitt Smiff.

You know being on Dallas helped Emmitt with the media.

Hockey cannot be taken as serious when compared to other sports because there is little to no diversity in that sport.

What do you mean no diversity? Quebecois against les Anglais. Guy LaFleur was l'homme. Rocket Richard, Cournoyer, Henri Richrad, Beliveau et al

Im sorry but anyone who thinks Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player ever is out of their mind.

Henderson you are the soccer mensch so who do you pick?

Messi, Zinedane, Beckenbauer, Gerd Mueller, Eusebio

Pele meant alot in the NY area with the Cosmos back when they drew 75K plus.

Lot of debate in hockey circles if Bobby Orr is better than Gretzky.

Lemieux gets thrown around occasionally as a what if. Dude was probably the most talented player to ever play in the NHL
