If you can only choose four, they have to be:\n\nMichael Jordan (globalized basketball and was the most marketable athlete of all time)\n\nMuhammad Ali (the most recognized face in the world and the most important combo of athlete and persona of all time)\n\nPele (acknowledged as the greatest player from the greatest team in the most popular sport in the world)\n\nI think those 3 are heads and shoulders more important world wide than any others. I think we should leave the 4th spot open. Tiger will earn it over the next 20 years.

I say it does NOT depend on the sport unless it is a women ONLY sport, (snicker snicker)\nMen are superior in sports and athletics in general\nHowever, in the sport of making love - women are the best!

Cristiano Ronaldo!!!\nOn the field he has amazing footwork, great runs and he makes a difference in every game.\nOff the field he models and is featured in commercials. His clothing taste is awsome and he can be found at some of the hottest clubs. He always vacations in style, but still has time for his family.\nHe is also GORGEOUS!!!!!

It depends are we talking current players or all players. If were talking current I'd have to say Wambach and Lilly. \n\nWambach because we play the same position and i like her playing style.\n\nLilly because she just works her behind off, she's got 30 caps that's saying something she holds the record for most caps for both Men and Women.\n\nIf were talking All-time It's Mia and Akers.\n\nMia because I liked the way she played and she's holds the record for most goals by a single person, Hell she's got more then Pele if you can't respect and Idolize that then your mental.\n\nAkers because even though she had the Fatigue problem(can't remember it's official name) she always played hard and left everything on the feild no matter how bad she was feeling she still played her heart out.

The best batter in the world today is hands down barry bonds. For all of you that think hes a steriod junky,  you have to realize EVERYBODY in baseball used to take steroids befor this scandal\nbarry bonds is the one getting the the most for it because hes breaking so many records. He has the best hand eye coordination in the game wich is one of the many reasons hes the most intentionally walked player in baseball history. The best short stop is Omar Visquel (10 gold gloves). Of course this is my own personal opinion .

Best player on the male tour? Without a doubt, it's Roger Federer. The women's tour is a bit different. Whereas Federer as an all around game, the top women have strenghts in different areas. The best technical player is Martina Hingis. The best power player is a tie between Maria Sharapova and Amelie Mauresmo. Finally, the best defensive player is Justine Henin-Hardenne. But, if I had to pick one player that has a close to all around game, it would be Kim Clistjers. She is, an amazing player with amazing abilities!

Ernie Els and Annika Sorenstam would be my choices. They are both great golfers, proven winners and yet they are also really personable and soft spoken people as well. Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus are probably the two greatest golfing legends, but they are probably a bit too competetive for what would preferably be a nice day out on the course. Tom Watson is also someone I would enjoy playing with I think.

I think the best player of all time is Ronaldinho. Why? because he is very very talented and he scores a lot of goals also he doesn't keep the ball with him too long he passes it in the perfect place and time. another thing is that he uses his talents when he plays not like the other players who do some techniques only in the practice time not in the real matches.

Pele is the best.\nMaradona was not bad but how he has been tainted by drugs - he cannot be an ambassador for the sport unless he gets some proper rehabilitation
