However, my younger brother does play tennis extensively, and he has said that Andy Murray is quite a Kong when it comes to tennis, having never won a Grand Slam despite reaching the finals and semi-finals of quite a few of them. So are there any players or teams outside of Starcraft that would qualify as Kongs of their respective sports?   | ||

players != teams, but Dan Marino is famous for being one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, but he never led his team to a super bowl victory | ||

It even has become an expression in French language. When you say someone is a Poulidor, it's like saying he always finishes second. edit : oh and he did very well at special events, which makes him a proud member of the Kong Line. | ||

 ) team Bayer Leverkusen managed to place second in the national league (Bundesliga, losing their first place in the last match), second in the national cup (DFB Pokal) and second in the Champions League, losing 1-2 to Real Madrid (with that genius goal of Zidane..) in the 2001/2002 season.Since then they are sometimes called "Bayer Vizekusen", analogous to e.g. Vice-President. | ||

It was partially inspired by Hotbid's Portal 1 run-through and the epic art that someone made for it. I also plan on trolling a restaurant by claiming that I am "Nadal Federer." I wonder how that will go... | ||
