fryer98 30 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 The topic title says it all.I have to go with Mario Lemieux on this one. Not only did he bring 2 Cups to Pittsburgh, he saved the team (temp?) from leaving the city.Hines Ward would be a close 2nd. How can you not love this guy? Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbes 1 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Michael Jordan, overall.Baseball - Steve Garvey was my hero as a kid.Football - Joe Montana.Hockey - Mark Messier. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Overall - Cal Ripken Jr. Surprising, as I'm really not a baseball person at all. He was bigger than the game, just an overall great person. Plus, he got his start as a Rochester Red Wing, which doesn't hurt!Hockey - Scott StevensFootball - Bruce SmithBasketball - Michael Jordan Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 George Brett was a confirmed cheater! Pine tar half way up the bat = cheating. You dislike bonds because he is suspected of taking steroids yet you list a cheater as one of your favourites...interesting. Link to post Share on other sites

avsfan 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 You mean like the movie Rad?More like the concept of being Rad . He invented that before the movie. You had to be their when He would hit the track. He would explode! The guy was gnarly bad ass Radical. those terms where the bmx culture descrbing him. Maybe Bob Haro contributes a lill too. But Harry was innovative crazy before we knew what to call it. Link to post Share on other sites

Also, everyone knows that Brett wasn't a cheater...your attempts to rile me have failed. Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Favorite of all time is Steve Yzerman. In the modern ages of sports, he's been with the same team for 22 years, and has been captain for 19 years. I've met him in person once, great guy, very nice. He was definitely a role model of mine growing up playing hockey.Gordie Howe comes a close 2nd.Behind him, John Daly. Yes, golf on a competitive level is a sport. Link to post Share on other sites

Jadaki 0 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Michael Jordon probably, Pele is a close second though. I think Bo Jackson might be the most impressive athlete I have ever seen though, guy was a freak of nature so he gets a little shoutout. Link to post Share on other sites
