    1) No LT or Tiger Woods. ? THAT. LT is the greatest defensive player in NFL history. Tiger was THE greatest golfer from 1995-2015. There's no way the off-the-field stuff they got into cancels them off this list.

    2) Steph over Bron? They trollin.

    3) Willie Mays, Gabi Douglas, and Emmitt are too high; Jeter, Kareem, Jim Brown, Usain Bolt, and Jerry are too low.

    4) The ? is Hershel Walker or Carl Lewis doing on on this list? Didn't Carl get found doping? Michael Johnson, too? Might as well add Marion Jones to this ? , we goin do that.

    5) No Mike Tyson? ? is infuriating. Tyson changed the heavyweight division FORVER. No Deon Sanders, either? I like Larry Fitzgerald too, but him over T.O. OR Moss...seems like they did a list of all "nice guys", cause that's some ? .

    Foulness everywhere with this list.

    You basically hit every point I wanted to make. The Steph/LeBron stuff has to stop. LeBron been a monster from day one. Steph hit his stride how many years in the league? When you have to rewrite current events for your list/story, it's time to start over. I can see forgetting some of the older cats' greatness due to never having witnessed it firsthand, but the ? ups that aren't even ten/twenty years old are otherworldly.

    I don't see what the problem is with Bo Jackson being ahead of LeBron on that list.

    Top 10 for them is way too high but both of them have dominated the gymnastics world championships for consecutive years and we have to remember the olympics is only every 4 years and they dominated that and one of them won gold in back to back olympic games.

    That ? far from a small feat. Top 10 hell no but I don't have a problem with them being on the list all things considered.

    You could make an argument that Serena is #1 ahead of Jordan.

    She's the undisputed best tennis player DOA. You can't say that about MJ.
