OT: Most influential U.S. athlete of the past 25 years?

What about Ed O'Bannon? He changed college athletics completely

Some predictably horribly bad takes. An AI response? Steph Curry? Lebron?

Money talks. Everything else walks.

It's MJ or Tiger and everything else is a distant third.

It's LeBron and it's not close. A lot of people don't like him which skews the answers.

Tiger would be a reasonable choice if golfers were athletes.

Here's one Lance Armstrong. Think whatever you want you can call him a cheater and/or a scumbag but he's the reason you see cyclists on the road and why roads have added bike lanes.
