Message: [QUOTE="1974yankees, post: 5326817, member: 14003"] Didn't Russell win 11 championships compared to Wilt winning 2? Yeah Babe Ruth was great but I wouldn't consider him to be a superior athlete. Too many 🌭 (hotdogs) between innings from what I have heard. Can't comment on Gretzky because I have never watched a hockey game in my life. But from my own experience, I have never seen anyone in any sport comparable to Michael Jordan. (I might put Bo Jackson second as far as athleticism goes) Also, even though Muhammad Ali was way before my time, I have seen enough videos of him to realize how unique he was too... But I have to go with Jordan.. Btw, There was an old Special addition SI magazine that had the top 100 athletes who ever lived. They put the top 3 in a special ELITE category separate from the other 97... Their top 3 1. Ali 2. Jordan 3. Ruth I still have this magazine. They also factored in their contributions to society as well though. (Ie: icon status) [/QUOTE]
