I’ll go with Wilt Chamberlain. Best pure athlete I’ve ever seen and it really isn’t that close. When motivated, Wilt was truly unstoppable. I’ve never been one of those “Players were better in my day” types because, well, they weren’t, but does anyone honestly think Andre Drummond or DeAndre Jordan could’ve done a thing against Wilt?
@Polsixe… Meh. Gordie Howe gets my vote as the G.O.A.T. Orr second. I recall when ESPN had their top 100 athletes of the 20th Century and Jordan was ranked number 1. A complete and utter farce.

Each sport can only have one GOAT. Gretzky, Ruth, Schumacher, Nicklaus…

Bo had some skills in some games, but is nohow in the discussion of G.O.A.T. in any of them.
ps. Jordan > LeBron
