Men Tennis-Roger Federer

Novak Djokovic has a much better resume. and arguably against better competition.

Poker- Phil Hellmuth

Phil Ivey is the GOAT.

 

[CABVOL]

Rode that exact model a mere 3 hours ago.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

bird certainly deserves to be in discussion as one of the greatest. but he isn't the goat

Is your GoFundMe still up? I remember seeing it and meant to contribute, but work has kept me especially busy, blah, blah.
I’ve been where you are in life many times. After much prayer and trusting our Lord, he has put me in a good place work wise and financially. I want to help a fellow Vol and good human. Would you mind reposting it for me? I promise I will get on it as soon as you post. One day I’ll share how God has blessed me after the year I had this passed one.

I appreciate that, Ob. I truly do. I'm grateful beyond measure, and been blessed abundantly. The Lord is too good to me, a wretched roughneck and sinner. Fills my heart to hear that your prayers were answered...He is still in the business of giving us all that our hearts desire, as long as it's pure and in the right place.

I deleted the account about a week or so ago. Seemed it had run it's course. Again, thank you so very much for the thought, it means the world to me.

However, if you're going to help me out with 10 Gs like @InVOLuntary ...I can get that account back up and running quick fast.

Top-10 for sure though from 1950-2020 imo.

What the future holds idk. Jokic is making a run into the top 10 for sure.

Only more competition I suppose. Mostly robots and Serbians in the top-10 by 2150 I suppose.

Jokic is old school/basketball intelligent with dominating the modern game competing against “superior more athletic” players. How?

 

[SugarCC]

Yes I recall that. Doesnt take away from fact that the goat is 23.

Did I say that it did?

Don't come at me bro.

I could argue a couple of those…with very little conviction.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

For sure some weird takes on Larry Bird

3x All-Defensive
3x MVP
2x Finals MVP
10x All-NBA
12x All Star
ROY
3x Champ

A career 49.6% FG, 37.6% 3PT, 88.6% FT those numbers should have him in the "greatest shooter of all time" debate...not acting like he couldn't play in today's game.

All that while playing in the same era as Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Dr. J, Kareem, Ewing, Robinson etc.

Great post!!!

Who was Michael Jordan's main competition in his "prime"? Karl Malone? Penny Hardaway? Detlef Shremp???? It's easy to be "the greatest" when your competition is sub par.

Once again, thank you to the ones that are really thinking about this and the ones that keep bringing a ton of unspoken facts to the discussion. I think a lot of you have had some things about Larry Bird brought to your attention today and are beginning to see that he was the best to ever lace them up.

Roger Staubach made me a Cowboy’s fan. He had the prettiest long ball throws.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

No, but many women do

GIT!!!

 

[volbeast33]

That isn't true. If you want to know just ask the people that Bird played against. You couldn't stop him, he's even tell you what he was going to do before he did it.

played one game left handed.

If MJ was a nation, he would be in Middle East

I wrest pretty good, but get tired when I dont,

 

[TN-POSSUM]

the man could shoot

Nothing but net

 

[VOLED]

Bird wasn't a defender, he was only good at shooting 3s when no one was guarding him.

Very good rebounder and passer

Mississippi State wants Elander

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Very good rebounder and passer

Don't forget about award winning GM and Coach. That's what puts Larry Bird alone at the top.
