Gretzky (if this was a poll)

 

[Beaker]

Tom Brady deflated those footballs.

 

[dkmightyhammer]

If you go by records and stats it's Gretzky. He has more assists than any other player has points.

 

[SteelersPride]

gretzky no doubt

 

[broncosmitty]

LeBron would be a better QB than Brady, if he had the time.

 

[Clayton]

Gretzky > MJ > Brady

Football is just....different. A 2 way player has more impact than a 1 way player.

 

[handicappers]

LeBron James is more GOAT than those other three.

thread fail

 

[Tapey]

Jordan, only because I dont know anything about hockey.

Gretzky, Jordan second. Brady? LOL, Brady isn't even in the top 5 (Ruth, Chamberlain, Aaron, Brown, Rice, James, etc. are all better).

Don't get me wrong, Brady is IMO definitely up there, but he's nowhere near top 5. It's hard for me to give any QB the nod, given 99% of the time it's the system they play in that makes them. I'd be willing to put Manning over Brady since the Colts sucked ass collectively for a # of years and Manning basically made his offensive coordinator irrelevant. Maybe that lost him Super Bowls (or potential ones) but I still give the nod since he actually carried the position. If you abolished the OC/HC position, I'd say Manning was hands down the best option.

All said, I think Brady deserves top 15, maybe top 10. I was happy I got to witness one of the all time greats in the prime of my life.

Gretzky he has almost 1000 more points than #2 on the list and almost 100 Goals over #2 on the list. Also played less games. I know what someone is going to say Championships and thats true but in any sport championships are a team achievement and even with the best player ever you are going to need other people.

I'm mainly just checking in to be on the first page of this thread in case it goes places...

Jordan ... He was at another level entirely .... If he didn't go to baseball I seriously think he would a led the Bulls to 10 straight titles... He never lost in the finals, never even went 7 games ... Jordan was on a different level, period ...

 

[Nosferatu]

Gretzky and lol at Brady being an option...

 

[Cave_Johnson]

If we're talking football Jerry Rice is closer to the equivalent of Jordan/Gretsky than anybody else.

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but Brady is going to his 8th super bowl and has won 5. The guy is the GOAT. The scary thing is he’s not even done. He’s got a spot on the American Sports Mount Rushmore no doubt. Jordan, Gretzky, Brady, Ruth

Serena Williams, you sexist pigs!

So you think Robert Horry is the best basketball player of all time?

Yes, Robert Horry was definitely the man on all those title teams...
