Arthur Robert Ashe, Jr. (July 10, 1943 – February 6, 1993)\nIn 1965, Ashe won the individual NCAA championship. He was also a chief contributor in UCLA's winning the team NCAA championship in the same year. While at UCLA, Ashe was initiated as a member of the Upsilon chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. With this successful college career behind him, Ashe quickly ascended to the upper echelon of tennis players worldwide after turning professional in 1969.\nIn 1975, after several years of lower levels of success, Ashe played his best season ever by winning Wimbledon, unexpectedly defeating Jimmy Connors in the final. He remains the only black player ever to win the men's singles at Wimbledon, the US Open, or Australian Open, and one of only two black men to win a Grand Slam singles event (the other being France's Yannick Noah, who won the French Open in 1983). He would play for several more years, but after being slowed by heart surgery in 1979, Ashe retired in 1980.\n\nHighest singles ranking: 1 (1968 and 1975)\nCareer prize money: $2,584,909\n\nHe was great. He was N1 and he earned good money!

Bob is considered a legend because he helped push Rastafarianism into the mainstream light. He also was very politically important in Jamaica, so important that someone tried to have him assasinated and missed by just a few centimeters. The candidate who he rallied for easily won. \n\nAnd when people often think of Reggae they think Bob. To have such name recognition means you've pioneered or at least made the mainstream aware of something. \n\nJr. Gong is, in my opinion, the most political out of the Marleys making music. Stephen and Ziggy are okay, but Jr. Gong goes two steps further than most of their music. Ziggy and Stephen have nice feelgood songs with "peace" elements thrown in whereas Damian will say the truth even if it's sort of offensive.

Not at all - look at what made him the most known (a cheat), that is not the type of reputation I would want to have & hopefully not many would want that type of recognition. Honor and integrity are a very important part of my life & I wish it were so for more people.

You're all wrong.  The question says, "Who IS known as...."  So the answer can't be The Beatles (or Rutles, or Monkees or Duran Duran) because then the question would say, "Who ARE known as..."  The question forces your answer to be singular not plural.  So the closest answer is:\nThe guy in the white tux and tails in the Blondie Rapture video (Fab Four Freddie)\n\nSo come on basketballman, give me the 10 points because my answer is much better and more creative than the ones you got from the flock of sheep posters above me!

King Arthur's knights.\n\nCamelot is one of Rngland's greatest legends.  Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and became King of England.  He united England and then when peace prevailed his knights when on the quest for the Holy Grail.  His best knight Lancelot and his Queen Guinevere fell in love and that love destroyed the kingdom.

Legends are born not made and Schumi is one of them. Champs like Alonso win it once and then are remembered as history. Legends keep on winning. So it has to be just one scenario, Schumi all the way.

Because Dirk Nowitski is becoming an icon. Superstarts are known for their first names, not their last names. If i rolled off Shaq, Lebron,  Scottie, Charles, and Dirk, you would know who I was talking about. But if I said Earl, Darrell, and Tim who would you think of? Earl Cambell or boykins. Darrel Dawkins or Griffith. Legler or Hardaway. They are big time. Dirk is big time.

King Arthur really existed, but when you read the story, you will see it`s a legend, so some parts changed. The point is he really existed.

No, I'm a 89 year old unemployed Zambian who stays in the Lusaka library and uses the Internet in the evenings to pass the time.  So no, I'm not famous.  However, I am a legend.

If you are talking about the legendary castle:  It depends on who is telling the story.  Different versions of the legend, from the ancient folk tales to the Victorian poets.  The first link has different retellings of the Arthurian legend.\n\nIf you are talking about the historical figure of Arthur, who may or may not have existed:  There is a sight in Cadbury, England, which is usually pointed to as the "historical Camelot;" it was an ancient hillfort.  There have been stone age, Roman and Saxon artifacts unearthed in the area.  Life inside and around its walls depended on who was in charge at the time, and whether there was peace or war.  It was probably a site of battles, as well as a place of residence.  The second two links have information about the Cadbury site.

One of the first mentions of King Arthur historically, is by Geoffrey of Monmouth, which describes him merely as a powerful warlord, that ended up uniting England tribes against oppresive invaders.  So historically, he merely had to prove his prowess on the battlefield to become king.\nHowever, in literature, for instance, in T.H. White's, Once and Future King, loosely based on the La Morte D'Arthur, Arthur is hidden away as the only succesor of Uther until he pulls the sword out of the stone.  This pulling of the sword out of the stone symbolizes his 'coming of age' or beginning of his 'hero quest'; (By 'hero quest' I mean something the protoganist must overcome, whether it be on the battlefield, succesffully fulfilling a given quest like killing a dragon, or gaining important information, knowledge, or skills, that will help him in fulfilling his destiny.
