FakeRazor you can't even pretend that Michael Jordan was responsible for NBA expansion. Most of those teams were added before Jordon did anything in the league.

I feel like Beckham gets a bum rap because he is not the ultra-creative, goal scoring, attacking central midfielder. By the nature of his position he probably could never be active in a game as Paul Scholes but he is easily one of the best to ever do what he does and I don't think he was any less important on United than anybody else. Not saying he is or ever was the best in the world, but he suffers the same fate as Anna Kournakova. At his prime he was clearly one of the top players in the world, but because he got a lot of attention he is vilified for not being No. 1.

Rob, opinions?

Jordan and Babe Ruth are tied.

Gretsky, Ali, Tiger Woods and whoever else are honorable mentions, but they're just not on that level.

Jordan/Babe Ruth. That is all.

And to be fair even though he isn't the current World champion, Valentino Rossi is widely regarded as the greatest racer alive today. In time possibly the greatest racer to ever live.



Also gonna chuck Don Bradman in there, because I keep seeing "icons" posted here that I have never heard of.

but then again, names like Donald Bradman, Sir Richard Hadlee, Micheal Holding, Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh done alot for their sport, so its hard to narrow down to just one or two
