Jeter was a great player and icon of the game, but there is absolutely no way he belongs on this list over numerous baseball players. Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, Mariano Rivera, Albert Pujols. I love Jeter as a baseball player, but his overall talent level was never among baseball's very best. When you factor in the hitter's era and that Pedro pitched in the AL, he may have been the greatest pitcher ever. No one can honestly say Jeter was the greatest ever at, or even close to the greatest ever, except at being well respected and consistent.
Does Ortiz make the Top 20 in your opinion?

Most won't agree with me, but I'd take Kurt Warner over Favre.
Those of you pimping Jordan need to take a look at the involved timeline.
1995-2005
There's no way in Hell Jordan deserves to be on top of the list.
Brady
Armstrong
Phelps
Tiger
All clearly above the Jordan/LeBron duo, given the time frame, IMO.
Tiger Woods, Golf and athlete should never be used in the same sentence.
Golf is a game, like pool or darts. Rafeal Nadal and Roger Federer would smack him into next year. Say what you want about Tennis, but you ain't winning anything if your a fat old John Daly or a 46 year old like Nicklaus was in '86.
Sorry, but golf is lame and takes up to much real estate for wanna-be rich people to go pretend they have athletic ability.

They got the top 4 right. I don't necessarily agree with the order though. 1.MJ. 2.Tiger. 3. Brady. 4. Lebron
I'm just loving the general consensus nationally now is Brady>Manning finally.
I'm fine with MJ ahead of Brady and MAYBE Tiger, but LeBron?? He's not there yet.
MJ ahead of Brady? 4 SB rings >>>>>> 6 NBA rings. ( This is the tie since both are the best athletes in their respective sports.)
