The Greatest of the Greats

[Lofunzo]

For my list, I will go with a little career and a little peak value and say:

Baseball - Babe Ruth: There is no contest, IMHO.
Football - Jim Brown: I will go peak value and go with him. No one better at their peak.
Basketball - Wilt Chamberlain: Most dominant player ever.
Hockey - Wayne Gretzky: Best ever.*

*I say this actually believing that Mario Lemieux is the most "talented" player ever. That said, I believe that Gretzky is the best overall player ever.

I agree that Bonds is close, bud, but I gotta put Ruth there. Do you agree or do you put Bonds above Ruth?? I can't do that yet.

For my tastes, Babe was the the best ever and he also pitched. I gotta put him at the top.

Basketball - MJ. No contest. Wilt dominated a different game. I've done quite a bit of research on this, and MJ was simply the best of the best. Magic was up there, too.

Baseball - The Babe. Give Bonds a curve and he's #1 in my book.

Hockey - Don't know anything but gotta go with Gretzky.

Football - Same as hockey but I'd take Joe Montana. The guy was amazing.

[Stejay]

The 3 best sportsman ever are Pele, Babe Ruth and Wilt "the stilt"Chamberlain.The next best are Cy Young, Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretski

Wow I'm the odd man out. Babe Ruth barely makes my top 5 all time.
