Seriously...can you name 5 legit professional athletes who honestly deserve to be mentioned in the same conversation?

1. Michael Jordan
2. Michael Phelps (Although not really a professional)
3. Wilt Chamberlain
4. Tiger???
5. Bill Russell, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lebron James
 
What’s your list?
Phelps - 23 Gold 28 Total Olympic medals. 27 world championship golds

Brady - 7 titles, 10 Appearances. 3x MVP. All decade team in two separate decades

Russell - 11 NBA titles (two of which were as player AND coach), 2 NCAA titles, 5x MVP

Jordan - 6 NBA titles, dominant player of the era without debate. NCAA champion

Nicklaus - 18 majors. 73 PGA and 117 overall wins. 5x player of the year. 8x leading money winner. 2x US amateur champion.

Thats a good list. As Baron said if LeBron can get one or more titles he'd have to be added for consideration. Chamberlain most dominant of his era. Only 2 titles. Kareem is disputable as dominant of his era but also 6 titles. Point is basketball is debatable.

Jerry Rice goat receiver. Can't think of any other football players where its that clear cut.

Phelps swimming. Nicklaus golf. Yippee.

I’d consider adding Gretzky to that list as well
 
Can't really be as GOAT as the 2nd GOAT professional player unless your name is Michael Jordan. There's really just two names to discuss.
 
1. Gretzky
2. Ruth
3. Phelps
4. Serena
5. Jordan
