Michael Jordan------Basketball
Babe Ruth-----Baseball
Martina Navratalova-----Tennis (could of put Pete Sampras)
Ayrton Senna-----Motor Racing

Originally posted by dan182Yes i could of had Michael Schumacher in there ,i did think of him but when i compared the 2 i could not go past Ayrton ,at the same stages in their careers Ayrton had the better results ,and if he was not killed he would of still been winning races and championships .
Shumacher - F1
Taylor - Darts
Spitz/Phelps - Swimming
The superior Ferrari kept Schumacher winning ,the other cars could not match the Ferrari .
Yes there were many swimmers as well ,but likei said i would miss some sportsman and sports.

should he have scored 4 runs in the last test against engalnd that avg would be 100.
lara and sachin are certainly the best batters of their generation but warne would have to be ahead of those 2 in terms of greater cricketer.
I agree with;
Ali
Pele
Jordan
Theres no way you can put Shumacher in the list - driving a car is NOT a real sport. Barring blunders the winner is always the one with the best car.[in any case he was a cheating git - same applies to the biggest cheat football has ever known, Maddonna 😉 ]
Originally posted by dan182I do not know much about crickets past. So you dont have to chop off my head. Though I do know bits about it, but I have never heard of him before. Now that I was informed about this Bradman guy, I will go look him up and try and get some clips of him.

Ayrton Senna may have been ahead at the age he died, but no one can predict what wouldve happened had he not died.
Originally posted by RedDevil4LifeSaying Shumacher is a great sportsman is like saying the best kid on the XBox is a great sportsman - in other words ridiculous.
