In honor of the latest MJ vs. Lebron thread, who do you think is the furthest separated from the pack in today's sports? Messi is pretty much an MLS show pony at this point, and LeBron is just padding stats imo. There are several current really good but not head and shoulders better guys in baseball, basketball, football, and tennis, but idk who's really standing out.

Is it Scottie Scheffler?
Is is (not really a sport but) Magnis Carlsen?
Is it some other dude I'm forgetting because I'm drunk & on PTOs?

Peak Carlos is better than peak Jannik IMO. But, Sinner doesn't seem to have as many dips and is more consistently great, if that makes any sense.

McDavid and it’s not really close.

That's pure domination.

Yeah, but the number of girls growing up dreaming of being 1500 m. freestyle swimmers probably isn’t overwhelming.

Lebron James historically, but right now it's Luka and Steph
Aaron Judge will be GOAT
Connor McDavid
Who knows with the NFL, but GOAT is Brady
A'ja Wilson
Lionel Messi
