Bradman, Phelps and Bolt are the only clear ones anywhere IMO

As you know, I'm a Yorkie myself, and Bradman is incomparable in the world of cricket. An average of 99.94 is unprecedented.

Who's unknown? I can't figure out who Austin is unless it's Stone Cold Steve, but seems lol to include that as a sport.

Not that I'm a hockey fan, but being so adamant that it's LOL that Gretzky is even in the running is a little LOL.

On uncovered pitches too. It is so mental.

People say that modern batsmen might be better because they now have to deal with much better bowling (not even sure that is even true) but the fact Bradman did that on uncovered, not remotely flat, pitches is just insane.

The gap between James Holzhauer and Jennings is bigger than any gap between the goat and #2 in anything, ever. Prove me wrong

Eliud Kipchoge has won all but one of the 12 marathons (all major) he ever ran except for one where he finished second to Wilson Kipsang who ran the then world record which Kipchoge has broken several times since then.

Before dominating the marathon he was an Olympic gold medalist at 5k and the world cross country champion.

The dude runs 26 4:38 miles in a row. Most professional athletes can't run one 4:35 mile. Most NFL players couldn't keep up with him for half a lap. A few CBs might do it for 400.
