IDK much about Michael Jordan and it's probably not fair to compare between sports, but I feel like Usain Bolt's accomplishments are the most impressive.

Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it

This. It is kind of boggling what he accomplished. I can see some arguments of people getting close to Jordan in basketball but Gretzky seems to be a clear number 1 with no one even close to him in hockey.

This. In terms of pure dominance over a sport, I'd put Gretzky or Brady over Jordan. But Jordan dominated his sport and became a worldwide star way more famous than the other two.

MJ is the most famous, Brady is the most successful as far as team sports, but as others have said Gretzky.

Only one of his records thats even close to being broken is goals.

Bo Jackson , he is the only professional athlete in history to be named an All-Star in both baseball and football.

Wilt Chamberlain was also crazy athletic

Jordan is arguably not even the greatest basketball player. Russell has a lot more rings. Wilt had statistical magnificence that Jordan never approached & will likely never be broken.

Bo Jackson was likely the greatest athlete I've ever seen. Football, baseball, track & field, archery, the man could practically do everything at an incredibly high level. I was watching the playoff game when he broke his hip & it made me cry.

Jim Brown should also be mentioned. Aside from being one of the greatest running backs of all time, in college he also started on the Syracuse basketball team, excelled at track & field (5th nationally in the decathlon), and was an All-American playing lacrosse (he's in the lacrosse hall of fame).

Bringing up Wilt should have an asterisk next to it. He was the best player of his era, but it was a shitty era.

Could probably say the same for Gretzky too.

Both amazing players in their respective sport and theyd probably still be good today, but the actual numbers are because of crummy athletes in Chamberlins case and crummy goalies in Gretzkys case.

MJ had two more chips, but Gretzky had way more individual awards.

And yet no one even come close to Wilt or Gretzky during the times they played. They thoroughly dominated their sports. When you play that good you make everyone else look like shit.

There are people who run 300miles without stopping, marathons in 2 hours, or climb a 4000fr cliff without ropes and you think a sports ball player is the best?

And wild to think you could take away every single goal he ever scored and hed still be first.

A lot of people say Jordan because he became the most popular, with and without sports, so its the easy choice.

In my opinion group b rally drivers from back in the day are some of the greatest in sports, you had to have godlike concentration, and the driving skills to go with it on some insane and dangerous roads.

Ever in Basketball? Yes. Ever in all of athletics and sports? I'm not sure how that's comparable. Maybe if you compare relevant stats relative to peers.

Hakuho Sho holds most of the big world records in Sumo. Most wins, most championship wins, and longest active top-rank rikishi (this is a big deal in a sport where you regularly contest headbutts and fall onto concrete). He's close to the few records that he doesn't have -- tied for second longest winning streak at 63 wins.

Mario Lemieux. Was as great as Gretzky, arguably a better pure goal-scorer, career was cut short due to injuries and cancer.
