I just got done watching the Best Damn Top 50 Athletes Right Now. I agreed with most of the guys on there, except that there was only one soccer player on the list... Ronaldinho at #6. I think there should have been at least 5 soccer players on that list... Henry, Kaka, Ronaldo... you could name a bunch. Anybody else agree with me?

Kobe was #1 by the way

was it based on athletic ability? or was it based on a number of things like popularity and all that?
but i think the worlds most athletic people are probly tennis, soccer, basket ball, and football players oh and lacrosse. basicly the sports where you do nothing but run.

for sure. but really the others you mentioned wouldn't stand up against pele or maradona, they changed the sport forever. plus henry is a bitch. and kaka's first goal of the world cup was a fluke

julius peppers, defensive end, carolina panthers

the guy is 6'7 290 pounds and can chase down rb's, has crazy pass rush ability and can take on double teams because of his size

definately a freak of nature.

curious as to how many rugby players made the list?

Football (soccer) players are hard to gauge because the positions are so different. There are the forwards who attack, and there are a lot of those... Maradona, Henry, Larsson, Nistelrooy, Rooney, Cruyff... I can go for days. I still think Maradona was the best athlete because he could straight up play while high on coke.

Midfielders are tough because theres attacking midfielders, and defensive midfielders. Best attacking midfielders? probably Ronaldinho or Zidane. Best defending midfielder? Probably Socretes, because he was able to do a shitload of weed and somehow be amazing.

Then defenders are even tougher, because they dont have real stats. I'd say Claudio Gentile is the best because how the fuck are you going to score if you have a guy rubbing his nads on you all day long? (thats what he did. he was nicknamed "genitle" for a reason) All I know is that if Maradona couldnt score on him, nobody could lol.

With all that said, I would say Beckenbauer was the best ever because he could play all the field positions. I'm not even going to talk about goalkeeper, because thats a whole different situation.

Lol.

Wasnt Dion Sanders like the best athlete? Like, hall of famer in football... world series winner in baseball...

and then he could also probably be an olympic track runner.

athlete much?

Kobe is fast, but not that fast..
and hes a pussy.. he got shaq to get traded because he was scared of his size...

i hate how underrated soccer players are, just b/c they arent that popular in the USA doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't know about them. More people know about allot of the top soccer players more than the top football, basketball, or baseball players.

football players, lacrosse players, basketball, players, and people from those sports should b high
they shoudlnt be many baseball or golf players cause the sports arent that active

personally i think it should go to a football player cause they have to be both strong and fast

probably someone like antonio gates or julius peppers or TO or Chad Johnson(he fucking beat a horse in a race)

im not taking away from any athlete that plays team sports either.... there is a damned good reason why they get payed what they do...

but kobe being #1 is a joke. sure he can bang shots like no other, but i dont think a basketball player should be #1. no offense to basketball, but there are other sports out there that require you to be bigger, faster, strong, and have more body control than basketball.

basketball is still a great sport tho, i love watching monsters like lebron or carter dunk overtop of people, its amazing

I know Crosby was #9, in my mind he should be #1 because i watch a lot of hockey. But yeah def missing a lot of soccer players.

Crosby 120 points, NHL MVP 19 y.o, guys of his age play in the junior leagues.

i dont get why people think football players should be on there at all. they play for like 10-20 seconds then they get into a huddle and talk then do it again. sure they may have to do like a 100 yard spring but there are runners that do that and even more so. id also like to hear about some runners like pre. well i guess he's dead nevermind. stupid girl.

football is a different kind of endurance.. you have to fully exert your entire body for 10 seconds at a time for 4 hours. try lifting weights and working out every muscle in your body very hard for 4 hours straight.

once again, im not taking anything away from any other sport.... except maybe curling. i appreciate every sport and the skills it takes to excel in that sport equally... i just get pissed when people rag on football cause you wont understand until you play in a real game.

and when i say play, i mean start in a game and play start to finish, not try out for the highschool team in grade 9 and get bitter because you got cut and tell everyone you hate football because it requires no athletic ability whatsoever...
