Greatest player you've seen in each sport?

Mickey mantle would drink till 5 in the morning. And then hit 450 ft hrs. Ted Williams would have all kinds of stats if he didn’t serve. Different era, different testosterone. But I’ll say, I’ll put prime Pujols against them all and he stands up.

Facts bro they were real men back then. Same with the old school boxers like Sullivan. Dude drank a 30 pack inbetween rounds while going 75 rounds with Killian. DOn't make them like that anymore. The test comment is about as real as you could get too. People forget about that piece of info when comparing the OGs to the new dudes. For sure though. It goes the other way too. You got new school guys that could compete with the OGs, but some young dudes think the new guys would spank the old school dudes no question.

You ever bounce around the ring for 5 rounds? It’s exhausting. That generation was just tougher...

Pitchers used to go 9+ on the regular...and do again right away. Cy Young’s win record is the most untouchable record in all of sports....no one will ever even see 300 again.

That Why (and I'll take it to my Grave) Sandy Koufax was the best ever...(and only had 2 pitches)...Willie Mays said that Koufax was easily the best he ever faced...

**** 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.

LMFAO bruh you got me dying with that. Probably changed it on ellis island or some schit. But **** ya bro. The old school fighters used to fight anybody any time. Never ducked fighters. They would fight multiple times in a week sometimes.

There are lots of guys I suspect are better.

The stories I hear about Wilt are intriguing. Benching like 500 lbs, grabbing the top of the backboard, running like Bolt. Wish I could have actually watched his games. Often think about if all those great centers of the 90s could compete with him. Shaq vs Wilt in their primes. Man.....

I always heard about how dominant Cortez Kennedy was but Seattle sucked and I never got to see there games except when Bo was running ape sh*t over them.

Jerome Brown was serious business but Reggie White was getting more splash plays then he died tragically.

Sap was the man but the Becca gave up to much in the run game when he was there.

I just missed the Laker- Celtic classics. I was introduced to the nba by the wars between Jordan and the Bad Boy Pistons. Birds back was killing him and I only saw some of his exploits on espn classic.

People always talk about Reggie Bush but I hardly watched usc unless it was a really big game.

The only thing I can compare to the excitement of Vick are the Barry Sanders ok st highlights and Peter Warwick embarrassing everybody he played with limited touches.

Dude was running 80 yard touchdowns and throwing it 60-70 yards in the air. Never seen anything like it before or after.
