I would have to say Tiger Woods because he is on his way to becoming a billionaire. After overcoming a diverse family from racial remarks being Thai and black, he has gone a long way. I respect him greatly for his accomplishments and becoming the first of his kind, an african american golf player. much respect TIGER  | ||

If you mean the pro-athelete who has accomplished the most given a disadvantaged situation I say Mugsy Bogues. If you mean the athlete who has contributed the most to any sport I say Michael Jordan. If you meant the athlete who set the biggest racial prescedent I say Jackie Robinson. | ||

But I agree with the sentiments about Gretz. Though Lemieux did score 5 goals 5 different ways (Even strength, PP, Shorthanded, Penalty shot, and Empty Netter) (: | ||

considering there are only 3 countries that have won the world cup more than 3 times (germany italy and brazil, brazil 5 times (also in 94 and 2002) and germany+italy 3 times), leading your team to victory 3 different times is just amazing. (should be noted that the brazilian team rocked without him too, but still. it's like france in 98, the team owned hard and would've done very well even without zidane, but with zidane they were the best team in the world by far. (shown in the final game against brazil where brazil got outplayed and lost 0-3 despite france getting one player sent off the field. ) (and was the best player on brazil every time.. ) he's also the only player who has scored 1000 professional goals. you could possibly argue that maradona was a better player than pele, but he's not as accomplished. (I also think zidane at his very best, for example during the finals vs brazil in 98 where he scored 2 goals (as a midfielder) and did pretty much everything else as well, could rival him, but he hasn't accomplished enough either.) I don't know the american/canadian obsession with statistics in sports though, I guess its cause your sports are so boring you need something else to entertain yourselves. =[ problem with pele is I've never seen him play a full match so im not aware of _how_ amazing he was, however he did get awarded "player of the century" in 2000 and he IS the most accomplished. maradona and zidane have both amazed me in full matches. | ||

Personally I don't obsess over stats, but they are thrown at us all the time. For instance, Ken Danekyo (Devils defenseman) has played in the league 21 years and scored ~35 goals (: no, he's not a scorer! heh ). I know this because everytime he scores one, its a big thing. I also know that Martin Brodeur (goalie) has a lifetime GAA just above 2.00, and a playoff GAA below 1.90 (lowest in the modern era, minimum 50 games). But I really only know the current stats going around in the league, aside from my team's. A way of "comparing cocks", so to speak. | ||
