Who is your favorite Favorite Athlete(s)?

Michael Jordan is mine. I got the privilege of watching him win all 6 of his NBA championships growing up.

The Chicago Bulls were the epitome of NBA basketball in the 90's and Jordan was the soul reason why. Yes

it helped that he had a great supporting cast and probably the greatest NBA coach of all time. Regardless,

Jordan's will to win was second to none. This video was just a quick illustration of that. Jordan was on the 1989 dream team in which went down in history as

the greatest NBA team of all time and where Magic and Bird realized there was a new sheriff in town and they

had to relinquish the throne.

Jordan's resume includes:

• 6× NBA champion (1991–1993, 1996–1998)
• 6× NBA Finals MVP (1991–1993, 1996–1998)
• 5× NBA Most Valuable Player (1988, 1991–1992,1996, 1998)
• 14× NBA All-Star (1985–1993, 1996–1998,2002–2003)
• 3× NBA All-Star Game MVP (1988, 1996, 1998)
• 10× All-NBA First Team (1987–1993, 1996–1998)
• All-NBA Second Team (1985)
• NBA Defensive Player of the Year (1988)
• 9× NBA All-Defensive First Team (1988–1993,1996–1998)
• NBA Rookie of the Year (1985)
• NBA All-Rookie First Team (1985)
• 10× NBA scoring champion (1987–1993,1996–1998)
• 3× NBA steals champion (1988, 1990, 1993)
• 2× NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion (1987–1988)
• Chicago Bulls all-time leading scorer
• No. 23 retired by Chicago Bulls
• 3x AP Athlete of the Year (1991, 1992, 1993)
• 2x USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year (1983–84)
• NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team
• NCAA champion (1982)
• 2× Consensus first team All-American (1983–1984)
• Consensus National Player of the Year (1984)
• ACC Player of the Year (1984)
• No. 23 retired by North Carolina

There hasn't been a discussion about the greatest NBA player of all time not involving Jordan in a long time.

My honorable mention would be Bo Jackson. Only athlete to be named an All-Star in 2 major American sports.

He was a powerhouse of a running back and a strong slugger and good all around defensive player.

He probably would have been good at anything he did though.

So who is your favorite athlete and why GS?

Incredible hands, he was a reception machine before Jerry Rice. Art Monk was also a beast in Super Tecmo Bowl. Just pains me to watch the nfl wr's nowadays with the diva/flashy attitudes. Art Monk just out classed everybody.

Add Eddie Lacy and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to my list.

Bo Jackson

@The-Apostle: Why is Clinton-Penis one of your favorites already? The dude hasn't even played a down yet. You just fucked his career, you jinx.

current? lebron, ez. unlike, jordan, he is a gifted passer and could play pro football right now.

btw, anybody who's ever talked about tiger as being an athlete should kill themselves.

I bought a Bosh jersey. He's my favorite person ever now.

It's Fernando Torres, even though he get's hated a lot, he is a huge talent and an amazing player. He just shows that you have to trust in yourself, it's an amazing message.

Lebron, Fred Jackson, Andre Iguodala, Ken Griffey Jr in that order.

Michael Jordan..

Hello,

Of all my favorite athletes I'd have to say Tom Brady and Derek Jeter are among the top two. The second is Kobe Bryant ad Lebron James. There are more athletes, and the list is great.

All time? Steve Yzerman (hockey), Alan Trammell (baseball), Wanderlei Silva (MMA), Lebron James (basketball).

I typically root for athletes that seem like decent human beings along with skill at their sport. I can never be a Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, or Tiger Woods because, despite their enormous talent, they're jerks by most accounts.

i've played video games for years, went to college on a hoop scholarship, hate phag boy liberalz and i would never ask the ultimate gay question: who is your favorite athlete? as long as tlou get recognized for its lameness and redundancy i'm good.

wait, pete carrol, seattle seahawks. pete carrol and the seahawks.

wait. boyz:

we all gotz yoz back.

we got your back. practice hard and repeat.

no female politics ever. go politicians go. the u of idiot pop go.

Randy Moss. Hands down.

Kerry Wood. Wanted to be like him when I got older :P

Ronaldo . the Brazilian footballer .

watched him in World Cup 2002 , he was mind blowing . he won the golden ball 4 times , 2 times golden boot of world cup , scored 15 goals in 3 world cups and won the cup in 2002 . he scored both goals against Germany in the finals .

I Also LOVE Paolo Maldini ^ I'm a big AC Milan fan and Maldini was in AC Milan for 24 years . and he was ( and still is ) damn sexy :D

When you talk about different players and teams throughout the National Football League, you will always have a bias towards a specific team and a specific player(s). For me, it’s the Miami Dolphins and Lamar Miller. They both show their 100% on the ground.

Kobe Bryant, Hanley Ramirez, Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, Clayton Kershaw, Kenley Jansen, James Worthy, Magic johnson, Kareem Abdul jabbar, Kevin Durant, Russell Wesbrook, Pau Gasol, Darren McFadden, LeSean McCoy, Richard Sherman, Randall Cunningham, Stephen Curry, Tim Duncan.

Lebron James

Realized I left off quite a few in my original list

Some more of my favorites are Drew Doughty, Anze Kopitar, Jeff Carter, Johnathan Quick, Justin Williams, Evgeni Malkin, PK Subban, Claude Giroux, Gary Payton, Kevin Love, Nick Young, Pedro Martinez, Mariano Rivera, Kevin Garnett, Henrik Lundqvist, Jose Fernandez, Tony Parker.

Steve Young, he performs well in NFL with the good strategy of winning the game.

1. Ronaldinho

2. Messi

3.Zidane

4.Shevchenko

5.Iniesta

6.Xavi

7.Henry

8.C. Ronaldo

9.Bale

10.van Persie

AJ Green

Kawhi Leonard

Yeah Jordan all the way. Best competitor I have ever seen.

Jahanghir Khan. Interestingly his name Jahanghir means "conqueror" and that is exactly what he was in squash.
