Going back in time, the best sportsmen ever have been Olympians.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think a great athlete transcends eras.
My favorite athlete of all time would have to be Jim Thorpe.
I think a lot of Jim Thorpe, the Olympian, and his accomplishments.
Past Olympians have a continuing role within the Olympic family.
Growing up, Michael Jordan was my Olympic hero.
Times have changed. The athletes have changed.
People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.
I mean, the greatest athletes in the world are African-American.
The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are their worst.
I think the greatest all-around athlete ever was Jim Brown. He played lacrosse, basketball and ran track at Syracuse. He played professional football for the Browns.
