Bossy was as Good as Lemieux....Gretzky said Quote..."If Bossy would have played with me, he'd be the Greatest Ever" (and he only played 10yrs (78-87)

I only know what my eyes told me. Bossy was great. In all honesty, for peak performance, Jagr had a couple seasons where he was as good as anyone. And Lemieux too. And those guys were big.
 
Greatest players in each sport during my time (Born in 92)

MLB-Griffey Jr.
NFL-Brady
NHL-Ovechkin (Hoping Nikita Kucherov eventually takes the reigns)
NBA-Jordan
CFB-Sean Taylor
CBB-Khalil Greene
CBball-I have no ******* clue. The one and done and 3-4 year player kinda makes it hard to choose.

If Mickey Mantle didnt play at 70% (Hurt knee his rookie yr) his entire career this convo would be void....

Willie Mays - best baseball player

But, Mantle was truly terrifying. I was a Washington Senator fan, so a lot of guys were scary for me, but Mantle was on another level. Without the leg problems, it would be hard to choose between Mays and Mantle.

Best pure hitter? Ted Williams hands down.

Williams always maintained Dimaggio was better....to go 56 straight games with a hit....then 16 more after a hitless game is so Extraordinary I don't know where to even start....Original Yankee Stadium had a 460' Centerfield back then...with 435' Power alleys which is absurd....If The Original Yankee Stadium had dimensions that current Yankee Stadium has...Both Ruth and Dimaggio would have an extra 100 HRs....

Listen to those posting multiple names, you are soiling the spirit of the thread. The whole point it to pick 'the greatest". That means one, not 17.

That is the fun of it, and dare I say....the challenge!

**** ya bro. No juice in those days either. No chance he was eating the crazy diets they eat now. MFer was probably sipping beers for breakfast and smoking cigs in the dugout.

Maybe that's the key as crazy it seems

Some of the highest strung "get sh*t done" people I've ever met are functioning alcoholics

I just met a 70 year old army corp of engineers that fits this to the bill. Guy is in GREAT shape and drinks like a fish

My dad used to go through a 60-80 beers a week and he's 73 and can jog just fine. He still drinks like a machine, physically the doctors say he's in **** near perfect health

I remember seeing on the news about some 100+ year old who was still getting along decently fine saying the key was a 5th of whiskey a day.

There was another guy on the news who was approaching 80 and in similar situations as above, the news interviewed this guy and asked him what his secret was expecting some herbs or some stuff you'd expect a doctor to say... his answer? "oh wow... yah I did a lot of drinking, a LOT of drinking, a lot of smoking, did a LOT of partying..."

I agree that testosterone was different back then tho

You grew up watching Tyson so you clearly watched sports in the 80’s/90’s and you have Kobe over Mike?
