    Out of the 5 NBA players listed, 3 played and won championships with the Lakers. We are blessed.

  2. ForgotPWAgainSigh

    Heard of simone biles but had no idea she was more accomplished than everyone below her

  3. StoneColdAM

    Solid list but Peyton Manning should be hire. Probably would replace Aaron Donald at #20. Shaq should also be hire than Tim Duncan because he’s a more mainstream athlete. Messi and Ronaldo probably should be higher since they’re so famous, but Phelps and Serena have more historical accomplishments 

  4. The accomplishments standard/basis is weird because there are team and individual sport players on the list. No way Kobe, Lebron, Steph or Aaron Donald win a championship ring without their team.

  5. RemoveHuman

    Swap joker and Federer. Hamilton should probably be higher. It’s a pretty good list though.

  6. thehanssassin

    Roger too high and over Nadal and Joker who is both active and still winning Grand slam titles? Nah.

    Also, Messi and CR7 are both top 2. Over 100 trophies, 1500 goals, 50 individual awards. They dominated the sport and inspiring young lads worldwide + super famous. They are Football and should be forever immortalized as the greatest athletes to ever lived.

  7. Simone Biles over Ronaldo, Kobe, Usain Bolt, even Djokovic and Woods is insane

  8. juniorcaminero

    Serena Williams should be around 15 cmon people… better than Lionel Messi, tiger woods, Kobe, Brady, and lebron?

  9. And I bet most of them are Kobe fans. We know all of the top ten are except maybe woods.

  10. redundantPOINT

    List is a shit show made to incite reaction.

    People can’t even agree on a top 10 by league and they’re putting together a top 100 of athletes.

    “[Insert less known synchronized swimmer here] and let me tell you why she was a better/more impactful athlete than Peyton Manning”

    Anyone watch NBA today? Malika Andrews has some weird beef with Kobe and always tries to disrespect his legacy. Scoffed multiple times at the idea of Kobe being ahead of Steph on this list

  12. Lakeshowdoe

    Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao should be in the top 20 at least…

  13. Wise_Ad_112

    The list tells me more about how little knowledge the ppl making the list have of all athletes across the globe. Terrible list

  14. Ok it’s nice to throw in Messi and stuff but this is just a US list

  15. Any-Priority-4514

    Is this the official list? Two tennis players, a soccer player and a gymnast ahead of the 2nd most dominate Golfer of all time? Come on…. I’m a Phil guy but even I recognize that Tiger should be no lower than 3rd (he’s #1 for me) on this list.

  16. Penny-Stoxx

    Even if you remove the women it’s still a god awful list
