    Default Greatest Athletes of All-Time

    I just wanted to start a thread where athletes of all sports, all nationalities could be celebrated and viewed in awe. Surely there will be discussions (not arguments) about who is the greatest this or that, but at the end of the day all should be given some respect for their accomplishments in the sport(s) they played...

    I start with the Super Friends/Justice League of sports










    And for the oldies

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Didn't look through any YouTube clip compilations... Maldini was a great defender over so many years. Handsome guy too....

    Baresi, who played for AC Milan, is probably the best defender I have seen.

    Virgil Van Dijk is the current best.

    Could, and did do it all.

    Maldini was the best defender ever because his versatility is ridiculous.
    Baresi was amazing, but as Central Defenders, overall , Alessandro Nesta was absolutely untouchable.
    This is how good Nesta is. In 2006, Nesta got injured and it made Cannavaro look amazing because he had plenty of heroic work to do. But if Nesta had stayed fit, Cannavaro wouldn’t have had to work that hard, it would’ve been fucking easy. Pace, Elegance, skill, courage. He had the fucking lot.
    Greatest Athlete of all time? Depends what you’re basing it on, and what side of the World you come from.
    Ali, Woods, Carl Lewis, Walter Payton , Michael Jordan from over the pond. From this side, Federer, Mercxx,
    And then there’s Usain Bolt & Jonah Lomu. 🤷*♂️
