Steffi; great one, almost forgot about her. I watched Laver play Natase in Miami in my youth and he gave his shoes to a buddy of mine who was a ball boy. He’s been my favorite ever since.interesting options on the tennis. I would go more modern with Seffi Graf (WTENN) and Rafa or Djokovic (MTENN). Im guessing you put Laver because of the two slams and Navratilova bc she dominated singles and doubles.

I did not have the guts to say that but you are probably right .....I saw Lemieux about 10 x.....in his prime ......I saw The Great one in the end when he was with the Rangers......I have always .maintained that Lemieux might be the most skilled player I have ever seen in any sport especially for his size he was simply a man amongst boys even in the NHL......teams would literally tackle him to stop him and he still dominated....A healthy Mario Lemieux is the most dominant/unstoppable offensive force in NHL history.
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
Zion or Jay Williams? You're seriously a Duke fan huhNBA Jordan - hated him but respect
NHL Martin Brodeur
CBB Zion or Jay Williams
MLB Mariano Rivera
CFB Sean Taylor
NFL Ray Lewis/Revis/Barry Sanders
Martin Brodeur very interesting pick.....I like that choice I saw him play about 10 times as well......is it possible he was underrated......NBA Jordan - hated him but respect

Look I know all about Jay Williams. My best childhood friend is a huge dookie, so much he named his boston terrier Duhon after Chris Duhon. Williams was good but he wasn't the greatest ball player in college ever. Carmelo was ten times the player Williams was, **** JJ Redick was probably betterI'm gonna give him some credit on jay williams
I watched him play FSU in his final season and it was like watching a masterful painting
I don't know if it's on youtube but if it is it's worth searching. Duke loses the game but even the commentators flat out said, "Is he human?"
****....your spelling....Not to reiterate....But my Grandfather saw them all play...
Ruth
Gehrig
Dimaggio
Lazzeri
Jimmy Fox...etc...He told me before he passed in 1976 that Mantle was the best of them...which kinda surprised me. I thought he'd say Ruth...but he was adamant about Mantle...My Grandmother loved Gehrig...
If Mantle didn't tear his knee up during his rookie campaign, there would be absolutely No argument...Accomplish what he did, Long before Modern Day Surgeries is absolute Craziness...
