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.
