I'm only a casual follower of hockey (mainly olympics and playoffs) so this is probably more your expertise.

Question for people wiser than I: What are the chances that Usain Bolt is doping

Game Changer

80% I’d say.

AFCougK9

11/6/19 6:14pm

Nearly a 100% chance that Bolt was doping. He was an above average sprinter

Iman23

The same thing is said about Phelps.

USMCdad

11/6/19 7:49pm

Phelps is much less likely because he was elite at 15 years old. Youngest ever

Olympic sports today are full of PEDs, I assume all are using some banned

USMCdad

Do you think John Collins is the only NBAer on PEDs? Curious about your Olympic

Iman23

I think most of the nba is on PEDs

Unfortunately after Lance Armstrong & baseball I just assume it's pretty rampant

Easily. He or Phelps.

garyfan

11/6/19 6:10pm

It’s easily Gretzky; he is universally revered and uncontested

Coop

11/6/19 6:13pm

Both he and Phelps are uncontested for sure.

AFCougK9

11/6/19 6:15pm

Phelps is incredible

Coop

Except the whole marijuana thing.

Hank Rearden

Meh, it's safer than alcohol

ReyOso

I think it's Gretzky but he's far from being "Universally" accepted as the GOAT

I have been playing hockey for over 30 years and I dont know a single person who legit thinks Mario was better

Its been shared before. He was great and his health issues derailed a promising career.

JohnnyComeLately

I think a lot would say Orr. But I’d still agree, less controversial than others

Martin Van Nostrand

11/6/19 6:41pm

Team sports I'm going with the Babe. Individually probably Phelps but I'm not

Dynasty1

It’s Usain or Phelps and it’s not close

gurt

11/6/19 6:31pm

No its pretty dang close with Gretzky.

JohnnyComeLately

11/6/19 6:33pm

This is pure ignorance. The Great One did things never thought possible.

Hank Rearden

11/6/19 6:37pm

I dunno how to break it to you guys but..

gurt

11/6/19 6:40pm

Because it doesn't require athletic skill? Because there aren't teams involved? Because there isn't a league for it?

jdub

Because nobody cares about it 🤫

The world IS larger than our 50 states.

But track and field and swimming people care about?

Now this is a good point

Gretzky. And. It. Is. Not. Even. Close.

I'm not a baseball fan, but why not Babe Ruth?

That's what I went with. He was an elite pitcher for his era before becoming the

The way I frame these questions is relative to their contemporary competition.

JmThms

11/6/19 7:28pm

I put him as GOAT but it’s not unanimous.

JohnnyComeLately

11/6/19 7:56pm

What other baseball players challenge him?

JmThms

11/7/19 8:11am

According to the linked poll there were a handful who people could argue were better.

JohnnyComeLately

11/7/19 8:35am

There is a reason why fans and other athletes know his title as The Great One

USMCdad

Yep more assists than the number two has points.

Gretzky because Secretariat is a horse and Bruce Jenner is confused.

You're right, I'm sorry. The list of players that have played in 9 Superbowls

UberDeek

Yes, because football is an individual sport, and the other 21 guys don’t matter

chilango

Yet, there's only two common denominators to all 9 teams... Head Coach and QB

Belichick clearly is, I don’t think anyone really debates that.

Seems weird to say that about one but not the other, as neither has accomplished
