What names would you take out, and add instead?

 

[Agnapostate]

Stone Cold Steve Austin.

 

[Xenophon]

Golfers and hockey players and no Babe Ruth?

Lame.

How about LT, the greatest defensive player of all time?

 

[Toro]

Gretzky was better than Jordan.

Gretzky was better than Jordan.

orr was better than both.

 

[Mad Scientist]

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."

Micheal Jordan?!?!?!!?....You gotta be shittin' me.

He couldn't even track a fly ball.

Bo Jackson not only kicks his ass, but could kick a dime off a baseball and leave 3¢ change.

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.

Just Major league basketball?

The greatest all round athlete has to be Jim Thorpe.

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?
