McDavid is putting up Gretzky numbers to start this season. 40 points in 19 games is stupid considering the talent in the NHL today.

Katie Ledecky is clearly the answer, just not the one most people want.

You are probably right with Aja Wilson (who cares) and McDavid.

The question is right now. Steph is well past his prime and Luka is not even the most dominant white guy in the NBA.

Sayin Missi is the most dominant soccer player is like saying whoever the best player in Double A is the most dominant baseball player. The most dominant soccer player does not play in the MLS. He's the goat, but that's not the question.

Shakur Stevenson in boxing seems pretty much untouchable at the moment.

As an avid hockey fan, RIGHT NOW the answer is McDavid

But the past few years it wasn't as clear since MacKinnon and Kucherov had closed the gap greatly. This year McDavid is on a mission and putting up numbers not seen since the 80s. Is it sustainable? Probably not but certainly fun to watch
Ohtani would also be great answer given his unprecedented pitching/hitting combo

Also I think there should be separate big 4 vs non-big 4 ie Katie Ledecky categories.

Ledecky looks like this guy if he were a chick (apparently)

I take competition into consideration, and women’s distance swimming isn’t exactly an ambition of too many girls. Nothing like boys being soccer or NBA stars.

All else equal, I would be more impressed with an athlete who’s a notch above 10,000 competitors than one who dominates 100 competitors.

Nobody really stands out in the NFL. I guess Josh Allen but that's a big stretch

Misorowski is head and shoulders better than any other pitcher I've seen in years. I can't imagine this lasts more than another season or two though

NBA and NHL I don't watch enough to have an opinion on

It won’t last the entire season.

The great one scored in access of 200pts in one season.

Two days and a page later you respond. You’re not even trying to hide it at this point.
