Athlete is a different conversation from sports player
The most athletic human ever is Usain Bolt
The margin by which he was better than every other athlete to ever compete is dramatic
In team sports or combat sports you can only beat the competition of your era meaning all comparisons of different eras and all debates of GOATs is nothing more than mental masturbation
Holding 100m+200m world records is the pinnacle because the clock doesn't lie, no matter how much time passes, if your records are still intact there is no debate for who the greatest is
I would choose being the GOAT sprinter over any other sport, money would be irrelevant to me if I had that title

true, i meant it as a combination of pure athleticism, achievements and global popularity/status

in the context of your post, i'd add wilt chamberlain. according to stories, he was a physical monster who could be elite in any sport he wanted

i never saw that much cope from a croatian lol

where is the cope here? i might be overhyping doncic, the rest is basically consensus in the sports community

yea, my title is misleading. what i wanted to ask is, who is the biggest sports icon ever

 

[comfortably dumb]

I'm an estrogenic bitch who hates sports because they remind me of all the jocks who bullied me in school and fucked all the pretty girls

fair enough
