Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 According to a recent article in Sports Illustrated (don't have link but read on another board today), the Top 15 athletes of all time are: 1. Jim Brown 2. Jackie Robinson 3. Bo Jackson 4. Charlie Ward 5. Deion Sanders 6. Dave Winfield 7. Marion Jones 8. Jackie Joynes-Kersee 9. Raghib Ismail 10. Brian Jordan 11. Wilt Chamberlain 12. Bob Golic 13. John Elway 14. Jeff Samardzija 15. Julius Peppers While lists like this are very subjective and no one will agree with the whole list, it is nice to see Bo get continuing respect in supposedly unbiased quarters.

ValleyTiger 2,872 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 #10 and #14 stick out to me. Jordan was good but not great at either sport. Jeff is too raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsu_fan_in_ok 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 i think Bo Jackson would be my number 1 .....He was a beast in both sports......I also think Lance Armstrong belongs on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keoson7 28 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 That list is not accurate, Maybe half of them... maybe less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Walter Payton, Gale Sayers I agree. That's what I mean by the last sentence in my original post. We all would come up with a different list. My only point was that Bo is almost always ranked high on these lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
