Lebron is #1. His dominance especially during the 2010 i think is up there with jordan And the shit he did at 35-40 in his sport is something not even Messi could replicate in his sport Soccer is too spread out while basketball is concentrated in one league that Lebron owned

When he turned his back on Spain winning the FIFA WC, he dropped off that list forever as far as I am concerned. No player is great without a respect for the game no matter who wins.

Djokovic is number 1.

Replying to @Playmaker8u
this list is bulls*it. USA is not the world. Global athletes should be higher: Messi, Ronaldo, Djokovic, Rafa, Kobe, Curry, Floyd Mayweather... Bron, Garnett, Donald, Taurasi, Ledecky, Simon Biles trash or not really relevant outside the US.

Floyd shouldn't belong on any lists like this due to domestic violence. Peyton Manning should be here instead of Mahomes. Ovechkin should be up here too.

Floyd Mayweather #25 is definitely a joke He's top 10 for sure.
