Coolest athlete of all time

Um guys, Evel Knievel!? Easy.

Bruce Lee is in the conversation, for sure.

Glen Plake.

Most of you probably don't even know who he is.

That's a real good one.

No love for 7'4" Marc Eaton?

Tyson.

Bruce Lee hands down.

John Matuszak used to stop by our practices at his (our) HS alma mater and the Tooz was definitely cool. Matuszak played evil football while living the life of a rock star. Vodka for breakfast, QBs for lunch, starlets and blow for dinner and desert. He bitch-slapped Lyle Alzado, too. Cool points there, for sure.

Coulda' been the most imposing NFL player ever.. had he just slowed his roll. Youtube the Tooz and watch ball carriers piss themselves in his presence.

Tim Rattay.

I think Shaq is far and away the coolest athlete to ever play a game. Can't judge for other cultures, but he should win USA title if there ever was.

I live in Laker land, and I didn't like Shaq before he became a Laker, didn't like him when he was a Laker, and didn't like him after he was gone, but I liked him better after he was gone..
Nothing cool at all about that jackazz...

Viv Richards.

Bruce lee was an inspired choice.

My guy is Duke Kahanamoku. Olympic champion, introducer of surfing and the spirit of aloha to many countries around the world. Just an amazing man and truly one of the good guys who was also a champion in world class athetic competition.

Richard Petty was/is awesome

I'll have to go with Ali and Jordan also.

Steve Largent.

Here's how he's 'cool': Lester Haynes, an All Pro DB for the Raiders who's motor mouth trash talking bothered even his teammates, said that he thought Largent was deaf as he could never get him to even look his direction, until Largent burned him for a 30 yard reception then after Haynes tackled him, got up laughing at him.

Now is that 'cool' or what?

It was Lester HAYES & Mike HAYNES, iirc.

I'll second Bo Jackson. He was that dude.

Greg Louganis? He's my fave.
