Current athletes who will be remembered in 50 years time?

[RagaZ]

Thought abort this. How many active athletes today will people still talk about in 50 years? Like we still talk about Pele, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and so on.

Football: Messi and C. Ronaldo obviously. GKs all timers ike Buffon and Neuer as well. That's it I would say.

Basketball: Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant(let's count him), I think Steph Curry as well if Warriors win the title this season. 73-9 and his records will be very tough to beat in the future. He will go down as the best shiiter of all time. Maybe LeBron James, but I actually doubt it.

NFL: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning(let's count him.)

Tennis: Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray because of his historic Wimbledon win.

Other sports: Tiger Woods, Usain Bolt.

As much as I hate LeBron, of course he will be remembered. The media are gonna put him in the top 10 even though he doesn't really deserve it.

Better Finals performer than Kobe. More regular season MVP. In 50 years Kobe is just another John Havlicek who win an NBA regular season MVP. True story..

The Lakers championship in 2010 was almost completely overshadowed by Lebron's pending free agency. It was so odd that fan interest of two historical franchises loaded with big name players in a championship series was trumped by a single player.

Don't bring this s[COLOR="Black"]h[/COLOR]it in here.


I would say Carlos Arroyo in Europe. He single handledly dominated that league.

He's a more marketable star than Kobe. Kobe is a good player aka for those 30 and under he's their Michael Jordan of their generation in terms of playing like Mike in the regular season.

But Lebron was the more popular and famous star. Even his haters watched the decisions.

History will remember Lebron as the underachieving millennial poster child of the darkest generation in US basketball history: the bronze medal olympic team-as well as his losing record in the finals and disappearances during big 4th quarters.

4x NBA MVP, and 2x Finals MVP. That's why more people remembered Kareem than Havlicek.

2-4

GOAT underachiever

That is what Lebron will be remembered for.

[KiiiiNG]

You hesitate to say LeBron but feel comfortable with Djokovic and Murray.

Some other names: Trout, Mayweather, Jon Jones, Phelps, Spieth, Aaron Rodgers

[Lebron23]

2-4

GOAT underachiever

That is what Lebron will be remembered for.

In 6 NBA Finals he only had 1 bad/terrible finals series. He was only 22 in 2007, and he was a one man scoring machine in the 2015 NBA Finals.


Kobe without a legit 2nd NBA Scoring option failed to win a series in LA.

[FillJackson]

Best athlete of the past 15 years?

Serena Williams.

Anybody else come close to being the very best at their sport?
Tiger, maybe. Usain Bolt maybe.


Shit forgot about Federer

Federer has won an all-time record 17 Grand Slam singles titles and has reached a record 27 Grand Slam finals, 23 consecutive semi-final appearances and 36 consecutive quarter final appearances. Roger Federer has spent 302 weeks as the number 1 ranked player in the world (ranked 237 weeks as number 1 consecutively), the most of any men's tennis player in the open era and all time.

Also Steffi Graf was very, very good

She was ranked World No. 1 for 186 consecutive weeks (from August 1987 to March 1991, still the record in the women's game) and a record total 377 weeks overall.
