I can't roll with Phelps because of similiar reasons for using a vehicle to propel, water works in a similiar fashion. nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher

Somebody should tell Lance Armstrong he's not an athlete. Maybe he didn't realise!
Lance Armstrong gets my vote for greatest at activity engagement of all time! | |

MuthaFunka said: In my opinion, the greatest athlete of all time was Carl Lewis. To be THAT damn dominant over the course of 12 years in a sport that is ONLY about speed and is muddied in PEDs, is pretty fuckin' impressive. Then tack on the Long Jump in which he also competed in at the same high level for nearly as long - just amazing.
I can't consider an athlete as being GAOAT that played in a team sport, since his success hinged on the help of teammates. Carl Lewis was one of my idols as a kid. Remember that 9ft+ jump he did that was erroneously ruled a foul? The toe of his shoe was overhanging the board but didn't make a mark. I really hope he was clean. He had a couple of iffy moments later in his career but seems to have been clean in the prime. Is it possible to really know though? That Lewis vs. Powell long jump slug-fest in Tokyo at the WC in '91 was incredible. | |

What makes me think he was clean was how much shit he raised about other dirty runners. Most dirty athletes don't do that. nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher

I find the total lack of understanding of physics, dynamics and resistance laws to be utterly hilarious on this thread as well as an indictment on education in the respective countries. [Edited 7/8/09 23:45pm] The break did me good, time to focus on the positive not the negative.
