Who is your fav all-time sports star ???

[Speedy_Gonzales]

mine is Micheal Jordon IMO greatest athlete of all time

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I can appreciate pro-athlete's abilities, but I don't think they are anything special. I don't really admire any celebrity though. They are just people with jobs that make a ton of money.

mine is Micheal Jordon IMO greatest athlete of all time

For NBA, there are so many great athletes in the world.

Gretzkey (NHL)

Elway (I am partial as a Bronco Fan) (NFL)

Lance Armstrong (Bicycling)

Tony Hawk (Skate Boarding)

These athletes have a gift, and have had to work very long and hard to get to the level they are at. Each one is special in thier own way.

[Z06-Goose]

John Elway. In my mind the most exciting pro-player to watch, and one of the best, if not the best ever at his position
Though not much of a basketball fan, I too admired Michael Jordan play

[310stanger]

I also have a decent list.
1. Michael Jordan
2. Micky Mantle
3. Larry Bird
4. Derek Jeter
5. Tony Hawk
6. Jeremy McGrath
7. Joe Montana
8 Lawrence Taylor
9. Tiki Barber
10. Wayne Gretzky
