Andre Agassi, Pistol Pete- that's two different sports (if you're talking about Pete Maravich)

Barry Sanders - great running back and just up and left the game; very weird

Shaquille O'Neal - simply unstoppable

Unstoppable, but not very likable. I can appreciate his ability, but I can't root for him at all. That's another reason why I like Barry-humility and class. [/b][/quote]
I like Shaquille more than Kobe that's for sure.

Shaq will have fun with the fellas. I met him in Philly at the All-Star Gala and he's pretty much a personable basketball player. He is monotone in interviews if that's what you mean by not very likable.
Kobe is an arrogant ass.

edit: @DWk - I didn't know that.

And people SAID he was the next MJ

edit - @busyman - well that's true as far as I know. I'm not a fan of him but a couple of friends called him like that.

I really haven't had a favorite "Sportsman" in quite a while.

Brett Favre would, I suppose, fit the bill currently.

Barry Sanders was truly one of a kind.

My son was a Punt, Pass and Kick competitor every year he was eligible (age 8 thru 13, at the time), and, as the State finals were held at the Silverdome, he met all the Lions, and Barry, who was normally very reticent around fans and in public, chose my son out, as he was the only PPK competitor to attend every year.

The competitors would mingle in the stadium tunnel with the players just before the game and again right before the half.

Barry would stop every time and greet my son by name and ask how the competition was going. I always thought he was exceptional, not only as a player, but in other, quieter ways, and the way he went out of his way to recognize my son typified him.

For me, l guess the sportsman who has given me the most over the years, from way back in his Cassius Clay days, is Muhammed Ali. He is one of a kind. l really got a boost in the 60's when he refused to go to Vietnam, it was around the time we were throwing rocks at the American Embassy in London to protest the war.
