It’s crazy to me that even as the overall competition in sports rises, there are
individuals who continue to dominate - and some even dominate like no one else ever has.

There will always be a best player at any given time, yes; but the fact that many of the best players are SO FAR ahead of everyone else is pretty incredible.

Messi, LeBron, Brady, Bolt, Phelps, etc.

Take Steph Curry shooting 3’s. I mean, kids all around the world have been shooting 3’s in gyms and driveways for a couple generations now. And he does it so much better than everyone else.

You would think athletes would top out at some point and there would be this large group at the top with no clear #1 because we’ve hit “peak” talent/skill. But it’s almost inevitable that 1 or 2 guys step up and take over the sport no matter how much better the competition is today.
