    Default Exactly How Good Was MJ???

    In my opinion no one has been as good at any sport as Michael Jordan was at basketball. I hear Kobe getting compared to him sometimes, but when it comes down to it, he is as insignificant as a fly to a hog.

    So tell me, who is the greatest of all time in any sport? Who can beat Jordan in this title I've given him?

    Hard to compare sport to sport, but Federer is definitely one of the most dominating athletes ever.

    Ranked No.1 for 237 consecutive weeks
    22 career Grand Slam finals
    16 Gram Slam titles
    Semi-finals or better in 23 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments

    For you tennis noobs there are only 4 grand slam tournaments per year.

    For years he basically made most top 10 players look like they were playing in the wrong league. I mean he was that good, the gap in skill between him and no.2 and no.3 players was huge.

    Yes. Can't believe it took this long for his name to come up!

    MJ, Gretzky, Tiger, when they really have the will to win are basically unstoppable. I think they're only ever beat by their own psyche.

    I think the testament of a true champion comes down to their professional record (wins & win &#37,years played, years spent dominating, records set, leadership (for team sports), attitude, the ability to set a precedent, integrity& clutch (can you pull of a crucial win, when it counts).

    MJ embodies all of these attributes. He is the greatest ever. Hands down.

    This may be all preference, but I'm a big fan of Nadal. Don't know if its the pirate pants, or the epic fist pumps, but he just seems like a general badass.

    Lionel Messi. He's still young, and he's already one of the greatest soccer players, today.

    He's already said that if Messi keeps it up, he's going to be better.

    He's back this season but he's in a car that isn't that great, he routinely beats his teammate though and a lot of people think Rosberg is very quick.

    Jordan was an incredible player who dominated the game in his time but not as completely nor for as long as Bill Bryan has ruled skimboarding. Jordan was also helped by an incredible team
    Beaker has basically been the sport of skimboarding for almost 2 decades

    Bill Bryan has been pretty dominant in some weird board sport...

    Also Lance Armstrong was a beast

    Jordan is my fav though, just naming some other dominant athletes

    *Didn't see that Wardo already mentionedd Beaker

    Stu Ungar- At cards in general.

    Won back to back WSOP Main Events. Stoped playing in them, was spotted to play another WSOP Main event, he won that too.
    People wouldnt play him in Gin rummy, he was far too good.
