Sorry...just not feeling it for Biles.....not in the Top 10 anyway.
And Serena Williams there at #2? Tom Brady in the Top 10? This sounds like something ESPN would put together just to get clicks and to be controversial. |

Why? Again, I think the list is pretty consistent in how they grade these things. They both play individual sports. And in the grand scheme of things both are pretty much the GOATs of their respective sports. Maybe you shift Serena a spot or two but undeniably she is easily top 3-5.

So here’s the way I think about it. Is this any less athletic or “sporty” than a 1B or a DH? If a DH hits .300+ with 800 HRs he would easily be a top 5 athlete. So why wouldn’t tiger be too? |

Tiger single handedly got people watching and playing golf over other major sports, he was that exciting to watch. The game of golf owes an unpayable debt to Tiger for what he did for the game of Golf. Kinda the same thing with Federer. I dont really give 2 shits about Tennis, but the way Federer played the game single handedly got me to watch and care about a game I otherwise wouldn't think about. |
