WHO ARE THE GREATEST SPORTSPERSONS ON EARTH
Basketball’s Michael Jordan was easy to choose in the 1990′s
It really was that simple, Michael Jordan He won six consecutive championships with the Bulls and was undeniably the outstanding talent during the playoffs.But, since he has left the National Basketball Association, have we really seen anyone else dominate a sport in quite the same way. Yes we have Here are my selections. from 5 down to my number 0ne pick as a sports great.
Have you ever seen a more collected and controlled quarterback? Over the last ten years, Tom Brady has been the most clutch player in the National Football League, dissecting even the strongest defenses with ease. He moves the ball around to so many different running backs and receivers that it becomes nearly impossible to work out the Patriot’s offence. Tom Brady has been part of 3 Super Bowl titles out of the last 6. Winning the championship every other year is pretty dominant, but still not a Michael Jordan.
4. Kobe Bryant
Ever since Bryant made the transition from high school basketball to the National basketball Association, he has shown that he is probably one of the most dynamic players in the NBL. we have to ask the question, is he as good as Michael Jordan?
They both have led the NBL in scoring. Both of them have won championships, and both of them have Three -peated. But Michael Jordan has three-peated twice, and you must remember that Kobe Bryant had Shaquille O’neal as his backup. You have to ask yourself, since Shaquille O’Neal was departed what has Kobe actually done.
3. Tiger Woods
this Stanford University stand out has became a historical figure in golf. He has won fifty seven PGA wins, that included twelve Majors, there are only 2 other players in golfing history worth mentioning in the same breath with Tiger Woods. They are of course Bobby Jones and Jack Nicklaus . Jack Nicklaus is the all-time stand out in terms of wins with seventy three PGA wins and eighteen Majors. you need to bear in mind here that he played for twenty four years.
. Tiger Woods has only been playing for eleven years. Woods has plenty of time to catch up. As far as Bobby Jones is concerned, even though he was the most outstanding golfer of his time, he only played within the amateur ranks, playing for the enjoyment of the game. Without a doubt, over the past decade, Tiger Woods has been simply without peer.
2. Tim Duncan
Tim Duncan has cemented his spot as the quintessential power forward in the game. He has technically-perfect footwork, overpowering defense and his flashy bank shots, he is tough to handle even if double teamed.
Federer’s statistics are impressive. A thirty one match winning streak at Wimbledon. Seven straight major tournament finals victories. Three straight Wimbledon and three straight US Open championships. he is the only player ever to win a major tournament without losing a set. He is simply the best tennis player of all time. He has been the number one player in the world for five years in succession.
Here is my choice. A swimmer who is more well known in Australia than he is at home. Michael Phelps.
Read this and learn. For starters when he was fifteen years old, he broke the world record for the two hundred meter butterfly, this made him the youngest swimmer in history to hold a world record. 2 years later, he broke another world record when he became the fastest man to ever swim the four hundred meter individual medley. At the 2004 Sydney Olympic Games, he became the 1st swimmer to win eight medals, a feat which has been matched only by the Russian Gymnast, Alexander Dityatin. During the Sydney games, Phelps set records in almost every event in which he swam. Since 2001, he has never finished below 3rd in any major swimming competition, in any event. He still holds six world records. his outstanding performances not only solidify him as the most dominant swimmer of the modern era, but raises the question as to whether he is the greatest swimmer of all time. Furthermore, he is still very young. He still has the chance to take out eight more medals at the Beijing Olympic games. Simply put, no one can beat this guy. He is without a doubt the most dominant athlete in the world at the present moment and is likely to hold onto this status for many years to come.
