3 fave athletes all-time across all sports

[jterrell]

Mine:

1. Mike Tyson. Mike edges out Ali for me as I saw Mike's entire car5eer starting at 19 with him on free TV.
2. Roger Staubach. Captain Comeback beating the Commanders late on a Monday night that I got woken up to watch is my first sports memory of any kind. 2nd Cowboy is Michael Irvin. Two very different guys but both with big hearts and a true love for the game and loyal to the team eternally.
3. Didier Drogba. Didier edges out Pele much like Tyson does Ali based on seeing that career in full. I did wear 10 in soccer as a kid for Pele.

Not the fastest or strongest but all fantastic leaders.

 

[DFWJC]

[StuckMojo]

Jordan
Staubach(several Cowboys for football)
Baseball loved Fernando Valenzuela as a teenager. Still think Barry Bonds is the best baseball player of my era.

 

[Bigdog]

Michael Jordan
Wayne Gretzky
Pele
It was tough not to add Jeter or Ali. Out of the three that I mentioned, Pele was probably the greatest due to him doing it against the greatest on the world. He scored over 1,000 international goals. Let that sink in.
