Who is the best athlete of the 21st century? Who is the most influential?

LeBron James or Messi for influential.

Best athlete is tough. Hard to say who is actually the most athletic when there isn't a Bo Jackson type around.

Most successful I'd say Brady.

Purely from a golf standpoint, he completely raised the standard and has led to the massive shift in how current pros approach the game. He is also directly responsible for the huge surge in the popularity of golf and the current gigantic purses. I don’t think any other athlete mentioned in this thread comes even close to the impact Tiger had on golf.

Globally I think you'd have to look at Messi as well.

I hate the guy but if we are going by athlete it’s LeBron James. He could have probably been a great NFL tight end.
