Athletes you tune in to see

I've seen a lot of great pitching, but I don't think anybody's ever seen something like Jacob deGrom right now. This dude throws 100 regularly as a starter and put where he wants, straight dominant as hell. I can't believe this guy actually plays for my favorite team. It got me thinking though what were some other sports athletes that you felt were must watch type TV.
Peyton Manning-On field General. The most commanding presence I've seen any player have. He would just take teams apart.
Barry Sanders-They say in football you can never go backwards, always run forward. This is the one guy that could break that rule and get away with it.
Cristiano Ronaldo-Probably the most popular athlete of all time. When he has the ball you just don't know what's gonna happen. Total whiz, electric player. Still playing at a high level for almost 20 years now.
Ken Griffey Jr.-He could do everything, hit bombs with a beautiful swing, make crazy plays in center and he did it all in such a stylistic way. It really transcended sports (the backward cap thing he made popular) And don't get me wrong Mike Trout is a better player hands down but the truth and nothing on Trout but Griffey was just way cooler.
Michael Jordan-I hated him cause he used kill my Knicks but he played with this burning desire that you just won't see in the NBA today.

Reggie Miller
Shaq in his prime when he was with Orlando and the Lakers, it was just fun to see him get fed under the net all day, and laugh when he shot freethrows.
Mario Lemieux
Mariano Rivera even though Ive never liked the Yankees, he should be respected.
That whole Penguins team was must-see for me.
Fun fact:. Jaromir is an anagram of Mario Jr!
Tyson in his prime
Wide WR consistent playmakers, Megatron, Julio, TO.
LeBron when he was with the Cavs both times.
Football. - Earl Campbell , Tom Brady
Baseball. - Nolan Ryan
Was a time The Mets were amazing with Tom Seaver, Jon Matlack, even had Nolan Ryan for a while along with my favorite relief pitcher of all time Tug McGraw (Ya gotta believe)we also watched Jackie Robinson then Hank Aaron, the Yankees had teams that were unbeatable in any era, from Joe DiMaggio to Thurman Munson, and don’t forget a guy who became Mr. October, Reggie Jackson.
You want to talk football Pittsburgh had Terry Bradshaw Dallas had Roger Staubach, and the New York Jets had Joe Willie Namath everyone who wasn’t blacked out would be looking for those games on Sunday’s yeah this was pre Monday night football and don’t forget Joe Montana he was spectacular
I’ve never followed soccer only name I knew was Pele
But if you want to talk basketball my favorite team ever was the 1969-70 NY Knicks, Willis Reed, Earl (the Pearl) Monroe, Dave Debusherre, at one time the great Bill Bradley, with arguably the sharpest elbows under the net, and the star Walt (Clyde) Frazier
Lots of standout and dominating players from Oscar Robertson, to Kareem Abdul Jabbar famous from high school back in the days at Boys High then known as Lee Alcindor, and so many others Larry Bird
And if you want to talk about boxers, Tyson was a thug, but Muhammad Ali was pure class in every department, I mean really I saw the original Sugar Ray, the Raging Bull LaMotta but none of them can hold a candle to Muhammad Ali he was truly tha G. O. A. T. In any sports conversation
Basketball - Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dr J, Darryl Dawkins, Kobe, Patrick Ewing (sorry - I can’t help my love for the Knicks).
Football - Eli Manning, Joe Montana, Lawrence Taylor
Golf - Tiger Woods
Baseball - Derek Jeter, the Sosa - McGwire HR thing was great back in the day.
Tennis - Ana Korn-hole-ova! She was a treat for the eyes.
Women’s beach volleyball is a great sport to watch with your trousers around your ankles...

why do u insist on misspelling everybodys names mr skibum?
everybody knows it is the marvin haglestein-thomas herndon fight
and larry bird? what kind of stupid made up name is that? no sane person would name their kid after a bird. ur obviously just confusing reality with a movie where they teach a bird to play basketball. i think the movie was called babe
if u didnt know now u know. your welcome
