I'm gonna have to go with Kobe Bryant. Why? Because basketball probably has the best athletes of any major sport, and he goes against the best of the best and always wins the battle.

It has to be Muhammad Ali!

The fights, the defeats, the rise, the fall, the quotes, the pictures, the period of time. What he did on and off the ring. When you study the life of Ali, you can't help but just say "wow, that was amazing". I don't know if any sports figure even comes close to him.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

Gretzky, Jordan, Ali and Nicklaus would be high on my list, but I'll go with Lance Armstong as my pick. The Tour de France is one of the hardest events in the world to win, and he did it seven times.

Mike Tyson

Nile Kinnick the Heisman winner from 1939 joined the Navy and was killed in a training accident. Any of the athletes who gave up their sport in the prime of their career to join the effort in WWII and Korea. I don't think you'd see anything like that ever again (I know some of you will say Pat Tillman, but he was alone in his beliefs. The rest of those pro athletes are sissies in comparison).
