Top 10 Athletes of ALL Time

Micheal Jordan may have been the most popular athlete of all time, but he certainly wasn't the best.

Jim Thorpe was the best.

He could have gone pro and made a living in many different areas of sport. You recall Jordans' failed attempt at baseball?

I remember seeing a little documentary about Jim Thorpe on Armed Forces TV some years back. Jim was receiving the Gold medal in some event, I can't remember what, from the King of some country I can't remember either:

King: "You sir, are the greatest athlete I've ever seen!"
Thorpe: "Thanks King."

:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I think this list is for the athletes that transcended their respective sports.

Jordan couldn't "transcend" his way through AA ball.

He was a great basketball player -probably the best- but nothing more.

Jim Thorpe kicked his ass as a pure athlete...As did Bo Jackson....And Jackie Robinson....

Being athletic is more than being a one-trick pony.
 
And no tennis players....

How is it that a (no argument) phenomenal (but previously unknown) swimmer beats out tennis legends, who work(ed) their ass off year-round, year after year?
 
great atheletes of all times...triple crowns winners....

The Triple Crown

there have been 11.....only 11...it is considered one of the greatest feats in sports yet you lame asses name a bunch of humans cause they are on commericals....
