Jim Brown:arguably the greatest running back of all time, in the Lacrosse Hall of Fame, and also did well in track and basketball. Some would say I'm biased because he was a Brown, but I'd say Brown edges out Jim Thorpe as the greatest athlete of all time.

From what I've read, he was a very good bowler and good at golf as well. I had to put him in.Originally Posted by Spang
Babe Ruth, an overweight alcoholic, made the list?

I do believe the thread is called greatest male athlete of all time, not greatest skinny teetotaler of all time.Originally Posted by Spang

Yeah, and he had native blood like me...so that makes me more likely to vote for him, but I haven't decided yet.Originally Posted by Forster
Glad to see Jim Thorpe on the list. Guy was an incredible all around athlete.

He was a great natural athlete. He's one of those guys who could do his job very well despite not really being into the whole exercise/eating right thing. It was just something genetic for him, and that counts too.
Wanna know why many people consider him a great athlete?Originally Posted by Spang
Bowling and golfing don't really help his cause.

Your wife must tell you that to make you feel better. It's ok, buddy.Originally Posted by Forster
You realize one wouldn't need to go All Night Long if one knew how to take care of business (hers) in relatively short order, lol.

Babe Ruth won't be getting my vote for reasons already mentioned, plus the fact that he only competed against other white people. This affects Jim Thorpe, too, for the most part. Michael Jordan was one of the greatest basketball players ever, but he sucked at baseball. Michael Phelps is a great swimmer, but he can't act his way out of a paper bag.
For now, I've narrowed it down to:
Jim Brown
Pelé
Wayne Gretzky
Jesse Owens
Jerry Rice
