ESPN: Mahomes the 18th best athlete of the 21st Century
https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id...s-21st-century

1. Michael Phelps
2. Serena Williams
3. Lionel Messi
4. Lebron
5. Mr. 18-1 Tom Brady
6. Roger Federer
7. Simone Biles
8. Tiger Woods...
18. Patrick Mahomes

Quote:
In the end, we received more than 70,000 votes from ESPN contributors to create our top 100. We will reveal 25 athletes every day this week until we reach our No. 1 athlete of the 21st century.
I would have ranked Mahomes a bit higher, perhaps in the top 15. Also hilarious that Brady couldn't even manage to crack the top 3.

If it was truly a "best athlete" list, Brady wouldn't be in the top 1000.

Phelps for sure there is no denying is easily one of the most decorated athlete of all time.
Well said, kind of like golf!

If we played 8-man football and then left-handed football and then flag football and then touch football, Mahomes would be winning five Super Bowls per year.
So physical ability is not the defining factor in your opinion?

The Scouts used to make you wear a colored plastic piece on a string around your neck to see what level swimmer you were. Experts wore red, mid swimmers wore blue and if you really sucked you wore yellow.

You're probably right. I mean it takes a ton of athletic ability to flop around like a teenage girl on her period whenever someone puts their hand within 12 inches of your face.

LeBron is a pussy with absolutely zero leadership skills and championship desire. I hope he gets ass ****ed by a sandpaper dildo.
