Magic is the greatest point guard ever, he revolutionized the position.

Bird would be higher due to his insane scoring ability and passing but his career was cut short so he really only had a few really great years

Prime Bird>prime Magic

>No curry

Do you even watch basketball? Seriously?

lol your opinions are shit

Basketball: Magic, Jordan, LeBron, Bird, Kareem
Football: Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff, Zidane, Messi

WEW, that's a great top 5

>Aaron

Padded stats due to longevity

unless you're watching several full games from each stage of a player's career, that doesn't count for much.

Stats exist

Baseball:
Ruth
Mays
Williams
Cobb
Musial

stats don't tell the whole story. the greatest players are remembered because of what they did in high stakes situations.

you're stats
LBF (likely to be a faggot): 1.000

Dont see how you can justify Bonds out of your top 5 even if you completely discount his PEDs years.

Musial is extremely underrated though.

No doubt but Hank Aaron is the GOAT longevity babby in all of sports. You gotta appreciate that.

Snooker
Ronnie O' Sullivan
Stephen Hendry
Steve Davis
Mark Selby
Judd Trump

>millenials

>7-1

MMA

>Demetrious Johnson
>Jon Jones
>Cain Velasquez
>Dominick Cruz
>Damien Maia

I consider these guys to be the best ever because they're the best ever now. MMA is constantly evolving so whoever is the best now is the best of all time.

>7-1

curry has had 1.5 good seasons, he can get top 5 if he keeps it up over the next couple years. but agreed, he does have the chance to be top 5

DJ has a very shallow talent pool. If he moved back to 135 he would lose to Dillashaw and Cruz. Maia is a one trick pony. Velasquez is extremely overrated.

id say messi should be 1, just because of the era differences, there are like 5 great players playing right now
>ronaldo
>neymar
>lewandowski
>suarez
>augero
all of these players would have shined back then
also I would put Gregorz Lato over beckenbauer

>KGJ
>ARod

>Cindy

>Erin

>DJ has a very shallow talent pool

Casual confirmed. 125 is a solid division that just doesn't have any big names. I don't disagree that he would lose to Dillashaw and Cruz but I wouldn't count DJ out. "[Fighter] would get rekt in the ___ weight class" is a shit-tier argument anyway. We should how good fighters are by looking at their optimal weight class (unless they regularly bounce around).

>Maia is a one trick pony

Yeah and it's a really fucking good trick.

>Velasquez is extremely overrated

Only person I see beating him is Stipe. Whoever wins that fight will be GOAT heavyweight.

Not even a top 5 of all time. He's marketed as fuck by FIFA because they use him as a marketing tool though.

1. Maradona
2. Messi
3. Di Stefano
4. Cruyff
5. Cristiano

Zidane was a great player, maybe my favourite, but I can't understand how people put him in their top 5 OF ALL TIME. Definitely belongs in a top 10 though.

>le no world cups man cruyff top five

maybe if he didn't smoke at half time he would have won one.

RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you people are what's wrong with modern sports

nofunallowed.jpn

not enough gold medals, sry

You forgot Zibi

no one of those are football players you fucking dumb pig

> Griffey Jr

Top 30 AT BEST. Stop it.

>2. Lebron

Go back to being poor

top-4 in hockey is sort of set in stone so I'm leaving them out and doing 5-9 instead. Also rating is mostly based on peak/prime not the whole career and is probably skewed towards modern players.
5. Dominik Hasek (greatest goalie ever, on top of statistical dominance the man had sick flair to his goaltending)
6. Nicklas Lidström (7 Norris trophies probably all I have to say about him. To me the 2nd greatest dman ever, and not that far behind Orr considering Orr's short career)
7. Jaromir Jagr (In his prime always top5 player in the league, even with Lemieux and Gretzky playing. Man will be 45 before the season is over and still top line player. Will be 2nd in points all time by his retirement)
8. Alexander Ovechkin (Ovechkin is a freak of nature, and perhaps the greatest goal scorer ever after it's all said and done, considering the lower scoring of modern era. On top of offensive ability Ovechkin has proven to also have the durability to withstand his sometimes overly physical playstyle. 6 Rockets at the ripe age of 30 and other pretty trinkets to boot)
9. Patrick Roy (while his peak wasn't on par with Hasek's and he lacks Hart trophies, Roy set some massive milestones by being very good for very long. 3 Conn Smythe trophies is still the most anyone has ever won, indicating how phenomenal playoff warrior Roy was)

HM: Bobby Hull, Rocket, Ray Bourque, Crosby, Sakic, Messier and probably more old timers I forgot about

in no particular order

Joe Montana
Babe Ruth
Michael Jeffrey Jordan
Pele
Spartacus

pro tip: none of these guys did steroids

Cristiano Ronaldo
Nani
Maradona
Cruyft
Deco
