Who is the best athlete ever?

Answer 1

• Michael Jordan or LeBron James, without a doubt.

• Prefontaine

• Charlie Connacher, who was a Canadian, can be said to be the "best all round Athlete " ever. He played professional Hockey, professional Baseball, professional football, and professional Lacrosse, at the SAME time. He won 2 Stanley Cups, in the National Hockey league, and a Grey Cup in the Canadian Football league. On many occasions he played a football game in the afternoon, and a NHL hockey game in the evening. At the time that the world record for the 100 yard dash was 9,8 seconds, he ran it at 10 seconds flat; He was the Canadian light heavy weight boxing champion on two different occasions. He also ran other types of track events and was also a strong swimmer and rower. Charlie was an all round champion in no less than 6 different sports. His professional sports career covered 23 years. He puts the modern athletes to shame. Jordan and the rest couldn't qualify to carry his equipment bag.

• For me personally the greatest soccer player is Pele.

• In no particular order ... Reginald Baker, Charlie Connacher, Jim Thorpe.
