Serena Williams would need to beat Rodger Federer, man to man.
Biles, different era.
Here's one we can all agree with, Travis Pastrana.
If you live in a glass house don't throw rocks.
Hmmm not sure on that one.
I'd don't know what exactly TP is the GOAT of but he is. Fact.
Bubble Gum- Bubblicious
No way. Bazooka Joe, Big league chew, and gum on a tape dispenser were all better. So was that gator aid gum that made you salivate your glands off. Oh and that zeebra gum.
Bazooka Joe is pretty close, and you get some comedy on the wrapper
Honorable Mention, BubbleBurgers from the 70's
All that crap today is just chewable Listerine
We agree about basketball as well as bike racing then.
I played a lot of basketball against some of he best who have ever played.
I played a lot of basketball against some of he best who have ever played. Bernard King, still to this day one of the most electric offensive players to ever play the game and as a first hand witness, impossible to guard one on one, Dominique Wilkins, the human highlight reel just name a few. Basketball was my first love but in the last 20 years or so GP has become my favorite sport. I know me some basketball
You never seen Tom Brady?
Baseball, most will say goat Babe Ruth. Not me, but like Michael Jordan, Ali, Rossi, the modern perception, especially immortalized in media, wins out. Who can argue against The Sandlot's mythical hero, Thee Babe, the Great Bambino, the Sultan of Swat, the Colossus of Clout, the King of Crash...get the 'picture'? Being a baseball fan, i know its more popular to honor hitters over pitchers, but the goats for me were names like Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan, Greg Maddux, but the public insist it must be a hitter to be a goat, my names are Willie Mays, Hank Aaron. But Hollywood wins the battle of hyped popularity, thanks to Neale's glorification biographies masqueraded as MotoGP movies, Rossi's name will be the mythical hero, and his legend will certainly out grow his real accomplishments.
Roberto Clemente was the best all around ball player i have ever seen.

He was still playing great baseball when he died in that tragic plane crash. I once saw him throw a frozen rope from the right field wall and gun down a runner who had tagged up and was headed to third . I swear I don't think the ball ever got more than 6 feet off the ground, it was a ....... laser. Dude had THE arm.Little known fact, Clemente was a US Marine!
Agree, he could do quite a bit on offense and defense. He was a gold glove winner like 10 consecutive years and a member of the 3000 hit club. I was just talking to Birdy about this, but my best memories with my dad were spent at the ball park. Clemente was among the sacred names, not just because of the numbers, more importantly because he was a humanitarian.
Like many sports, soccer, basketball, hockey, basketball, insert stick ball sport, offensive numbers are used to define greatness. Ozzie Smith was from my time, and he was basically a human cat. Not the Goat of baseball, but definitely the shortstop goat.
