Sy_Accursed Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I think the idea of trying to get a singular is dumb. Each sport requires a whole different skill set and a whole different form of physical fitness, which means you can't realistically measure them agaisnt anyone outside thier own sport Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickeley102 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Don Bradman. I took a paper 'Sports History' as an elective. There have been quite a few studies and Don Bradmans test Cricket average off 99.5 or whatever consistently ranks as the greatest sporting achievement of all time. I know its a hard thing to quantify and argue, but its also hard to argue with the experts. Its currently a golden age of sporting icons Woods, Phelps, Bolt, Federer. We're pretty lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffwilson99 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Yeah, it's pretty sick to think Bradman was so far ahead of anyone before him, and is still undoubtably the best there has ever been. To think that a test average of 50+ is seen as "Gold Plated", and then see that Bradman Averaged nearly twice that is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptical Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I think the idea of trying to get a singular is dumb. Each sport requires a whole different skill set and a whole different form of physical fitness, which means you can't realistically measure them agaisnt anyone outside thier own sport Exactly my opinion. The sport I am most involved in, hockey, means that Gretzky is a god. "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security."

But I definately don't know my rugby history as well as I know crickets :PI much prefer rugby (and league) but I was just putting in my 2 cents on Bradman and the academic opinion. I actually find it hard to see professional cricketers as pro athletes, look at murali and warne they were/are greats but they are also overweight old men and still the best.
