Cisse Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I was a bit surprised that Kobe Bryant was not so well known by everyone here in a sports forum. So I decided to start a new thread for showing appreciation towards monsters of sports that everyone doesn't know or remember anymore. Please feel free to tell stories or your memories of these athletes as you see fit. Here's some of my Hall of Fame Athletes Cassius Clay Pele Edwin Moses Walter Payton Matti Nykänen Ayrton Senna Ron Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Fancy?! Hmmm Anthony Joshua has boosted the sport of boxing in a way nobody would have dreamed of Lewis Hamilton. As Brits we are supposed to be crap or just not quite good enough. Hamilton must be German because he's an easy winner Tyson Fury is mentally all over the place. Which makes him more of a hero in my eyes. Breaks the perfect idol cliche. But his achievements and success against the odds are inspiring. Ronnie O'Sullivan. Don't like him. He's a dick. But can't help but admire his talent. Been phenomenal for snooker. An entertainer and unreal talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The trio of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. Andy Murray could have dominated tennis if not for the misfortune of coming through at the same time as those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport isn't always about who is the best statistically. If it were, then nobody would remember Leicester's title win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 My favourite sportsmen outside of football are (past and present); Golf: Rory McIIroy, Justin Rose and Nick Faldo Tennis: Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Tim Henman Cricket: Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad and Kevin Peterson Snooker: Ronnie O'Sullivan Can't really think of any others although there might be some. No women on the list as I don't watch much, if any, women's sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
