Mt. Rushmore of world Sports.

[lakers_forever]

Who would make your worldwide mt. rushmore of sports?

IMHO, Ali, Jordan and Pele are locks. I only have one spot left. I'd put Jesse Owens.

What about you guys?

Jordan, Pele/Maradona, Ali, Lance Armstrong/Don Bradman

Can't decide between Cycling or Cricket... As for Pele and Maradona either would do.

[Pain of Thought]

George Brett, Detlef Schrempf, Ricky Williams, Brian Vickers.

Respectfully disagree. Maradona was a loser for much of his career to be considered the greatest. Lost 3 of 4 World Cups. Never won a Libertadores or a Champions League and was not among the all time greats at the main objective of the sport : scoring goals. Pele scored 1281. Maradona scored a little more than 300. Even players like Zico, who played in Maradona's time and same position had like 800 + goals. Maradona does not have the titles and does not have the stats. Plus he was not a complete footballer. He sucked at headers and could not shoot properly with his right foot.

Pele is Wilt + Russell. Record scoring plus titles. He is the GOAT. Just like Jordan had the stats and titles to back him.

Sorry about my ignorance on the subject, but who is Don Bradman?

yes but how many cricket followers are there? but i suppose the same could be said for hockey

[macmac]

An argument can be made for Tiger as well

[emsteez forreal]

but, 99.94? even if basketball was very, very little known, shooting 90%+ is unheard of. that's godly.
