Who are your top 5 athletes for your generation or all-time?!!

[joseph camel jr]

Federer- domination?

Uh. Some guy named Rafa would care to disagree.



Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps.....good call, can't believe I forgot about those guys.

FYI I'm thinking like 1998 and beyond, I'm not counting guys like MJ and Gretzky who really were not a part of "my generation." I was born in88, but it would be foolish to include guys who peaked when I was under 10 years old because I didn't really get a good chance to watch them play.

Both were great players. But I think Ronaldo put on better individual performances than Zidane.

Rafa's great, but just because Roger can't consistently beat one person, does not mean he is not dominant.

A tennis player doesn't casually win 14 slams like it's nothing. Otherwise, everyone would be winning them.

I do agree that depending on what you consider your generation, some players may be left off.

 

[joseph camel jr]

don't get me wrong- as of now, he's got the most impressive resumé of any player ever. better than sampras or anyone else.

i just think it's inaccurate to say he has been dominant. he was for a while, he no longer is. and i don't think, as the world #2, that can even bedebated as of now.
