    The Greatest

    Every sport eventually produces a one of a kind talent that is remarkable. A talent that is head and shoulders above the rest, for the ages.

    Right now that person is soccer phenom Lionel Messi. I know soccer is not mainstream here but that doesn't matter.

    To watch an individual do things on the field of play that is indeed great should attract everyone. Messi is laughably a god on

    the field. He makes all around him look like little leaguers. If you have a chance, watch any match he is involved with because it is truly great.

    I think it's fair to say American football and Baseball have no such "greatest" presently.

    I used to feel sort of privileged to be able to watch Tiger Woods play golf live. I figured he would go down as the undisputed all-time greatest, perhaps the most dominant player of any "sport". And I was watching it happen in the moment. Maybe he still will, but it sure sucks that his career has taken a downturn.

    I was a little too young to truly appreciate Jordan, but it's pretty cool that I was kind of around for that.

    American Football is a little different because there's so many different positions. You can't really say that any individual was ever the best football player. But if you break it down by position, there have been players that were men among boys. Deion Sanders comes to mind.

    Baseball does have figures that were ridiculously dominant for their time such as Ruth and Cobb.

    I don't really follow Hockey, but my understanding is that Gretzky was basically unstoppable and embarrassed people.

    Nobody in world sport even comes close to this guy right now. He is that far in front of the 2nd best football player its laughable. Hes basically breaking every record possible

    Is he really that high above the rest? I thought that gay portugese guy was pretty far up there too.

    He won last week. Whether he's back to Major Championship form is up for debate.

    His recent wins disagree with you, Tiger is back.

    Keep in mind I said greatest. And of course there are debates about the greatest but none of the players shown here would be described as the greatest imo.

    I don't even know who the first guy is.

    Sorry but they all look kinda the same to me.

    And again, a big problem with American Football is Star power unrecognized. Unavoidable but still.

    Lots of people recognize AP, especially when he's in uniform. Naturally you don't because you don't care about football, which is exactly the point. It's silly of you to make statements like "football doesn't have any superstars" when you don't know anything about football. It would be equally ridiculous of me to say the same thing about soccer having never even heard of Lionel Messi. But I don't say weird things like that because I recognize that I'm completely ignorant about the sport.

    At this point I don't think it's a stretch at all to say that AP is the best to ever play the game. If he stays healthy by the end of his career it might be cemented.

    I just hope it never comes out that he was juicing.
