In which sports are we currently looking at the greatest player?

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Ronaldo 1994-1998 is probably the best footballer anyone will ever see. He was still a great, great player, one of the best ever, later in his career, but for those years he was just absolutely stunningly brilliant. Unstoppable is the word. He had absolutely everything - equally strong on either foot, unbelievably quick with astonishing acceleration, a massive strong beast with sublime, absolutely absurd skill and the deadliest finisher I have ever seen aside from Romario. Still a fan of Fat Ronaldo today, in fact I'd have still brought him to the World Cup if I had a say in Brazil national football team selection.

Ronaldo was also doing Ronaldinho's signature "flip-flap" thing years before Ronaldinho did it. Ronaldinho was enormously skillful but a very overrated footballer, in my opinion. I think Rivaldo was a better player without getting close to the same adulation and Ronaldinho has no place really being called anywhere close to one of the best ever. He had a couple of good seasons but one game vs. Real Madrid at the Bernabeu basically stands as the sum total of his good performances in big games. He was a one-man highlight reel who continually disappointed when it counted most.

Quite.

Had the pleasure of seeing both him and Zidane in action for Real back in 2004, past prime but still awesome, ball control out of this world.

People always forget Ronaldo's years at PSV, sensational.
