He's the best at his weight.

I'm surprised Tom Brady didn't get one vote.

He's unathletic.

And if your talking about winning he don't play defense and it's takes a totally team effort to win in football. It's 21 other starters on a football team

I kinda know what you mean when you say "unathletic". But if he's not "athletic" then what is he?

He's certainly the best at what he does. As far as I see it the only quarterbacks that are even in Brady's league are Drew Brees, Peyton Manning (and you could say Eli Manning). But realistically Brady's better than all of them.

Is it "skill" or "athleticism" or a little of both? Its not that easy to throw a 40 yard pass right on the money. Especially when people are trying to tackle you. And he's been going to the Superbowl and winning for 15 years now.

-The cheating scandal derailed Tiger from passing Nichlaus when it loked like he would shatter that before

-Bron only 2 titles, i think a 3rd would give it to him

-lmFao @ picking kobe when Shaq is arguably ahead of him. No other athlete on that list is matched by their generation peers. Meanwhile Kobe for half his career wasnt even the best player on his own TEAM

-Tom Brady has 4 rings, inches from a 5th, and sad to say after this year it could reach the point of being no debate.

If Tom Brady wins a super Bowl this year he is the greatest football player ever

I have never liked him or the Pats but if you dont acknowledge that you're biased. Hed be Montana with Marinos stats... and Mike Jordan's relatively no-name supporting cast lol It'd be no question

21st Century to date: Barry Bonds.

4 MVPs in a row. 2 Time MLB Player of the Year. 2 Batting titles. 6 All Star Games. 5 Silver Sluggers. 3 Hank Aaron Awards. Became Baseball's only 500 HR/ 500 Steal man (still the only 400 HR/ 400 Steal man).

Oh, and that little title of Home Run King. All of this from 2000-2007.

And bringing in steroids to the conversation is irrelevant and pure ignorance.

Cosign. I'm sure he's not the only MLB player on roids.

 

[Shizlansky]

Bonds was that nigga

 

[Inglewood_B]

LeBron the only one on that list that could probably be at least moderately successful at all those sports represented

 

[dallas' 4 eva]

49-0 my nigga.

 

[mrtdb]

You gotta lot of nerve not putting my name on this poll brotha...I may not be known but I'm a beast

 

[bless the child]

Bron, Money and Serena

 

[CashmoneyDux]

No Steph Curry? Lol

 

[CashmoneyDux]

Messi should be on here

 

[D. Morgan]

IMO if you going to put Barry Bonds and Roy Jones up there then Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders should've been options as well.

Based on the list I would have to go with either Serena Williams or LeBron James can't decide.
